Andres J. DeLeon
Chicago, IL
"DeLeon’s ability to jump from voice to voice is quite admirable. I loved his Trekkie Monster...His Nicky is just as fun, but in a much different way – showing off DeLeon’s ability to play multiple, distinctly different characters."
Rikki Lee Travolta, Life and Times
About Andres
Originally from Plainfield, IL, Andres is a proud Mexican and Guatemalan actor and singer from the Chicagoland area. He graduated from Millikin University with a Bachelor of Arts in Music.
Since graduating, DeLeon has worked around Chicago and has been seen on stages like the Paramount Theatre, Marriott Theatre, Theo Ubique, and Music Theater Works.
When he's not on stage, Andres is usually at home cooking a family dinner, enjoying a movie night with friends, or reading one of the many books he swears he's "going to finish this time."

And there are some lovely voices to hear sing Miranda’s fabulous score, including Andres J. Deleon, who sings Piragüero, aka the Piragua Guy, quite beautifully. Triumphantly, too.

Among the other marvelously memorable denizens of “In the Heights” are Jordan Arredondo as Usnavi’s younger cousin Sonny...and Andres J. DeLeon’s Piraguero, whose arias about shaved-ice give the neighborhood an operatic flair.

The smile on my face throughout the show could not have been bigger, especially anytime Andres J. DeLeon and Melissa Crabtree took the stage
