View profile
Laura Panzeri is an accomplished singer, actress, and dancer with an extensive career across major Italian and European theatres. She is currently performing as Anita in West Side Story at the Nuremberg State Theatre and as Elphaba in Wicked, on stage near Vienna from October 2025.
Laura began her theatre career in Italy in 2010 with Happy Days, followed by the role of Sandy in Grease, and Annette in Saturday Night Fever at the Teatro Nazionale in Milan.

In 2013, she moved to Germany, where she joined major international productions including Sister Act and Mamma Mia!. She portrayed Princess Jasmine in the first European Disney production of Aladdin and starred as a leading actress and vocalist in Paramour by Cirque du Soleil.
After a season as a soloist aboard the Color Fantasy cruise ship (2Entertain, Norway), Laura joined the Friedrichstadt-Palast in Berlin in 2022 — the world’s largest theatre stage — as a solo singer in the Grand Show Arise. She continues there through summer 2025 as the main character ME in the hit production Falling | In Love, curated by Jean Paul Gaultier.


Alongside her stage career, Laura has worked in dubbing and vocal recording in Milan, lending her voice to several animated characters, including Sunny Starscout in Netflix’s My Little Pony: A New Generation.

Starting in 2024, she fulfilled a lifelong dream by becoming the Italian singing voice of Elphaba in Wicked Part 1 and Part 2, produced by Universal Pictures Italy.
