Stephanie Torres De Los Santos is a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and a consummate cabaret performer whose work lives at the intersection of music, character, and confession. With a background in musical theater, jazz, and dance, she approaches every song as a fully inhabited story, drawing audiences into worlds that are by turns seductive, tender, biting, and raw.

Stephanie’s theatrical roots run deep. Raised in a family of performers—her parents were an exhibition ballroom dance couple, and her mother an original Mouseketeer—she developed an early fluency in rhythm, movement, and stage presence. This lineage informs her instinctive connection to live performance and her ease in creating intimacy with an audience.

Her stage work includes roles such as Ado Annie (Oklahoma!), Adelaide (Guys and Dolls), Maria (West Side Story), Audrey (Little Shop of Horrors), and Edith (Grey Gardens), where her character-driven approach has consistently been at the forefront. Beyond traditional musical theater, Stephanie has found a natural home in cabaret, where storytelling and emotional truth take center stage.

Stephanie’s connection to the work of Jacques Brel and Kurt Weill is deeply personal. She had the rare opportunity to study with Elly Stone, a member of the original Broadway cast of Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, while performing the title role in the original musical Miss Lulu. She appeared in investor showcases at New York’s John Houseman Theater as the production sought an Off-Broadway run.

Today, Stephanie performs regularly with the jazz/swing sextet The Swizzle Chicks, appears in original Broadway revue productions, and continues to explore the bold, provocative song worlds of Brel and Weill in collaboration with Sharon Fendrich. Whether in a jazz club or a theatrical cabaret, she is most at home when the lights are low, the story is honest, and the audience is leaning in.
