Bio
Reggie Whitehead, was born and raised in Miami. However, he now spends
his time between New York and Miami. Reggie began in this business as a ballet dancer but soon wanted to sing as well as dance. His first professional job was The Leading Player in Pippin, a role that he has always received rave reviews for.
Always busy in some aspect of the theater, Reggie is known as a singer, dancer,
actor, choreographer and director. In fact, he won a Curtain Up Award for Best
Director of a Musical for a production of Fat’s Waller’s Ain’t Misbehavin.
This same production also won a Best Musical Curtain Up Award.

When not performing, Reggie is busy traveling the world in search of ferns. Yes, that right, ferns, as in the plants. He is considered an authority on tropical ferns, and has introduced several new species to cultivation, including a new species from Sumatra, which has been named after him, Microsorum whiteheadii. In addition to Reggie’s active theater life, he also finds time to serve on the Board of Trustees for the world-renowned Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden. But in the meantime, Reggie Whitehead is here to sing and dance for you. |
