Bella DePaola

Dancer.Singer.Actor.

Hi there! My name is Bella DePaola and I’m the pint size power house from Central New Jersey. At six years old, my parents gave me a piano vocal book of Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ album and I instantly fell in love with music. Growing up I competed in dance competitions across the East Coast and loved any chance to get up on stage. Soon after I found theatre and learned I could combine my two passions into something truly fulfilling. After performing in community and school theatre, I was accepted into Pace University and graduated with my BFA in Musical Theatre with a minor in Commercial Dance. Since graduation, I have signed with Boals and Winnett and performed at theaters like The Tuacahn Amphitheater, The Rev Theatre Co., The Hafen Theater, and The Mac-Haydn Theatre. From dancing in the ensemble, covering, dance captaining, and belting on 0, I’m truly grateful for every moment I’ve had on stage.

    “Bella Depaola brings serious girl boss energy and has a fantastic singing belt.”

    - Courtney Taylor, Utah Theater Bloggers

    Bella Depaola crushes the role of Spot Conlon with fire and passion…I loved the character that Depaola brings…the perfect edge and authority expected from the well-loved leader of Brooklyn.

    - Torri Adams, Front Row Reviewers

  • Godspell

    “Clad in a slinky, shiny, shimmering, green lame’ jumpsuit, Bella DePaola offers up a sultry rendition of ‘Turn Back, O Man’……DePaola slinks and struts about the stage with a lithe sensuousness that leaves little to the imagination; her stage presence is as strong and true as her vocalizations.”

    - Lisa Jarisch, Berkshire on Stage

  • Jersey Boys

    “In a sensitively played role, Bella DePaola is the seemingly soft around the edges, but hard in the middle, Lorraine, Valli’s lady friend until the “winter” of his journey.”

    - Lisa Jarisch, Berkshire on Stage

  • The Little Mermaid

    The beautiful voices and hilarious facial expressions of the mermaids…..are charming and wonderful in this piece. Did I want to be one of their mermaid friends? Try to guess.”
