JONAH WARHAFT

Welcome!
Thanks for stopping by and taking some time to learn a little bit about me! Though born and raised in sunny South Florida, I just moved to New York City after finishing up my degree at Baldwin Wallace Conservatory of Music in Berea, Ohio where I received my BM in Musical Theater under director Victoria Bussert's final year as program head!
All About Me!
Though performing through the streets of South Florida with intricate dance moves and electric stage presence began at the early ages of six, I didn’t catch the musical theater bug until I was 13 years old; when I was cast as Evan Goldman in 13 the Musical where I, like the character, was studying for my bar mitzvah. After middle school, I went on to high school to study under a full musical theater scholarship at American Heritage Center for the Arts; where I performed in over twelve productions. Highlights include Amos Hart in Chicago, Man 2 in Songs for a New World, Bottom in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Damis in Moliere’s Tartuffe! In 2019 and 2020 I was nominated for the South Florida Cappie award for Supporting Actor in a Musical, winning in 2020 for Pop Carnes in Oklahoma!
After graduating high school in 2020 and auditioning for musical theater programs across the country, I took a gap year to deal with the uncertainty that was lockdown before taking a second jab at the college audition process. I then went on to receive my Bachelor of Music from Baldwin Wallace Conservatory of Music under program head Victoria Bussert’s final year at the school. Through the program, I attended and performed in 30+ masterclass with industry professionals like Dustin Flores, Ben Sands, Ellery Sandhu, and Jed Abrahams.
Outside of musical theater, you can find me reviewing movies on letterboxd, commentating on any major real housewives franchise, taking pictures of nature, or cooking with my boyfriend, Marcus. On days where I'm not doing any of the former, I'm waking up at 2:00am to bake bagels, muffins, and croissants at my local Dunkin' Donuts!
Some of my biggest dream roles include Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors, Evan in Dear Evan Hansen, Mark in Rent, Moritz in Spring Awakening, King George in Hamilton, Buddy Plummer in Follies, and Leo Frank in Parade!
Thanks for stopping by!
