Eva Zazzali

When Eva first knew she could sing, that’s all she did. Even at six months! The song “I Was Born to Entertain,”was written just for her.

With a smile on her face, sometimes embroiled in toddler mischief, she was creative, happy and very difficult to get angry at.

Her star and stage presence was always there…even when she was pulling all the toilet paper off the roll or drawing on her mom and dad’s bedroom door in lipstick.

Eva, number five in a family of eight children, started dance lessons at three years old, and became a member of her

company dance team in jazz, and ballet when she was eight. She coupled that skill with voice lessons and immersed herself in the stage and musicals in several junior theater companies. Her favorite dance is tap, and adds that to her weekly dance schedule.

Her favorite musical is The Sound of Music, and she channels her favorite actress, Julie Andrews, every time she perfoms. When her older sister, Valentina played the lead of Maria, Eva decided to become an expert in SOM trivia…knowing every actor, role, song and certainly dialogue. She says she wants to visit Vienna soon, and since she has already carved out a decent chunk of earth traveling both domestically and abroad with her large brood she is well on her way.

Eva’s dream role in any production is a toss up between Annie and young Fiona in Shrek, which won her a platinum trophy and second place all around singer/dancer at a recent vocal competition. But, she is just dying to be on Broadway, and at nine years old, that is her life’s goal.

Eva has three brothers and four sisters, whom she usually loves dearly, and a heart bigger than any nine year old can have. She is first to help, first comfort and is a loyal friend to those who know her.

She lives with her mom, dad and siblings in New Jersey, and don’t forget her dogs, Blitzen and Stella and hermit crabs. The animal lover she is wouldn’t have it any other way, and would like to adopt some ducks this spring. She attends school in New Jersey as well and loves to learn anything she can.
