Ninako is an LA native who started in Vaganova ballet and broadened to other performance art forms. She moved to NYC in 2021 and shortly thereafter made her Broadway debut. She has performed in two Broadway musicals, multiple national broadcasts, and twice at the Tony awards. She is deeply rooted in her culture, with deep gratitude to her mother and her grandmother. When she's not performing, she likes cooking, true crime, martinis, and Judge Judy. She acts tough, but pets people's dogs and cries at sunsets.
