Maria Akpan
Originally from Liverpool; Maria started dancing at the age of 18 as a hobby, this soon became her dream. Eventually she moved to London to pursue her career as a dancer and attended North London Dance Studio.
Her TV, Film and Commercial credits include: Brookside, Hollyoaks, Clubland Tour, Samantha Mumba’s backing dancer and the Somerset house “What Next” concert.
This is Maria’s first ever job in a Westend Musical. She is one of the Jackson’s BIGGEST fans, so being part of this wonderful production is a blessing, honour and achievement – I’m so delighted!
Maria would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to Gary Lloyd for offering her this ridiculously amazing opportunity! She would also like to say a HUGE thank you to her family, friends and teachers for their constant LOVE and SUPPORT: “I am SO grateful”
“Being myself, learning, growing and improving is what I will continue doing.”
