From Off-broadway To Abc Dramas
Conrad Ricamora has long been a familiar face on both stage and screen. After earning his BFA at Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts, he cut his teeth in regional and Off-Broadway productions—roles in Macbeth and Romeo & Juliet earned early praise. In 2014, Ricamora landed Oliver Hampton on ABC’s How to Get Away with Murder, forging a devoted TV fanbase over its six seasons.
Tony Awards Moment
Last night, Ricamora swapped his TV persona for a red-carpet look at the 2023 Tony Awards. In a striking Instagram post, he posed alongside photographer Jenny Anderson and stylist Joy Woods, donning a custom tuxedo printed with a downtown Manhattan skyline. His caption—“Downtown beginnings to uptown dreams @joynwoods 📸 @jennyandersonphoto @thetonyawards”—paid homage to his journey from early New York stages to Broadway’s biggest night.
In the snap, the actor’s sleek black bow tie and white shirt made the skyline pattern stand out. His confident pose, paired with a subtle smile, captured both nostalgia for his roots and excitement for what lies ahead.
Past Tony Nod And Broadway Return
Ricamora first earned Tony Award attention in 2016, when he scored a nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Play. That nod highlighted his rapid rise from ensemble player to leading man on Broadway. Fans may also recall his recent Instagram announcement celebrating a spring return of Oh, Mary! Original cast members—Cole Escola, James Scully, and Ricamora himself—are set to head back to the Lyceum Theatre this April, reuniting audiences with the hit play’s offbeat humor.
What’s Next
Always balancing stage with screen, Ricamora has dipped into streaming projects as well. Earlier this year he shared an Instagram snapshot noting his guest turn in episode five of Hulu’s Dying for Sex. He’s also lent his voice to awards shows—last December he co-hosted the Outer Critics Circle Awards alongside Cole Escola, congratulating nominees in everything from musicals to solo performances.
With several high-profile Broadway revivals and new TV roles on the horizon, Ricamora’s “uptown dreams” caption feels like more than a turn of phrase. It’s a promise of continued evolution—from his downtown theater beginnings to red-carpet mainstay and beyond.
Fans can revisit his Tony Awards look on Instagram at @conradricamora, where he regularly posts behind-the-scenes moments from tours, rehearsals, and award seasons. His trajectory—from Shakespearean stages to primetime drama to Broadway spotlights—remains a testament to dedication, versatility, and a flair for reinvention.
Tonight’s image, rich with symbolism, reminded followers that every skyline starts at street level. And for Ricamora, the view keeps getting brighter.
