Life and career

Born and raised in New Orleans, Bologna was active in local theatre productions, including Bye Bye Birdie and Peter Pan, until Hurricane Katrina forced his family to relocate to Austin, Texas.[1] In Texas he performed with the Zachary Scott Theatre and the youth theatre KidsActing Studio and appeared in numerous shows, including Beauty and the Beast, Grease, and Cabaret.

He is a two-time winner of the North American Irish Dancing Championships and placed fifth in the World Irish Dance Championships. He also won the Big Easy Entertainment Award for his performances in Oliver! and The Music Man.[2]

On November 13, 2008, Billy Elliot officially debuted on Broadway featuring Bologna alternating in the role of Michael with Frank Dolce, with each of the boys appearing in four performances a week. Although the three actors who portrayed Billy shared the Tony nomination for Best Leading Actor in a Musical, Bologna alone was nominated as Best Featured Actor in a Musical, as he had been the one to "debut" the role in the first "official" performance.[3] Bologna's last performance in Billy Elliot was on September 27, 2009, however he returned to perform the role of Michael on June 16, 2010 for a limited engagement which lasted until August 8, 2010.
