Biography (2019)
Giovanni DiGabriele (Skimbleshanks) is so excited to be touring the country with the Broadway 1st National Tour of Cats after just recently touring with the Broadway 1st National Tour of A Bronx Tale as "Handsome Nick, Calogero u/s." A Philadelphia native and graduate of Drexel University with an Accounting/Business degree, he has toured the U.S. and Canada with other Broadway shows including A Chorus Line as "Al" and Rodger's and Hammerstein's Cinderella. Other credits include regional theatres such as Goodspeed Opera House where he worked with Stephen Schwartz and Charles Strouse on a newly-revised version of Rags, Walnut Street Theatre, Maine State Music Theatre, Fulton Theatre, and Prince Music Theatre. Giovanni started taking dance classes at 19 years old at schools such as Artists in Motion and the Rock School for Dance Education, so he is honored and ecstatic to be a part of this iconic dance show. He is also a teacher and has taught several masterclasses at theatre and dance schools around the country including the Arden Theatre Company, Music Theatre Philly, Goodspeed Opera House, Artists in Motion, and with Broadway Connection where he enjoys sharing his passion and love for the arts with young performers.
