Mauricio Martinez

MAURICIO MARTÍNEZ is a Mexican Emmy Winning actor and recording artist whose body of work spans film, television, albums, concerts, plays and musicals. He made his Broadway debut playing Cuban hit maker & producer ‘Emilio Estefan’ in ON YOUR FEET! The Story Of Emilio & Gloria Estefan on Broadway and its first National Tour, playing at such theaters as The Kennedy Center in Washington DC and The Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles. 

From the Hollywood Reporter: “Mexico’s Martinez makes a stunning North American debut as Emilio. With credits like Beauty and the Beast, The Drowsy Chaperone and A View From the Bridge in his home country, he brings charismatic kookiness, warmth and romance to the role, and lends tender pathos to his solo, “Don’t Wanna Lose You.””

A household name in Mexico & Latin America, Mauricio can also be seen in two seasons of NBC Universo’s original Emmy Wining TV series EL VATO on Netflix. Other television credits include multiple Telenovela’s in Univision and Telemundo like SEÑORA ACERO, CLAP: EL LUGAR DE TUS SUEÑOS, PORQUE EL AMOR MANDA and LA MUJER DEL VENDAVAL as well as the 40TH ANNUAL KENNEDY HONORS on CBS, THE 2019 GERSHWIN PRIZE (performing next to artists like Patti Labelle, Cindy Lauper, Rita Moreno, Andy García and Gloria Estefan), and ONE VOICE: THE SONGS WE SHARE with the American Pops Orchestra on PBS. 

Mauricio has released two Latin pop albums, available on all music streaming services. Up next is the recording of his sold out one man show: 5’11”, BASED IN NYC, which will be recorded live from 54 Below in the fall of 2023. Mauricio is also featured in the album Songs By An Immigrant by Mexican composer Jaime Lozano as well as in the premiere recording of Present Perfect, also with music by Lozano, frequent collaborator. Up next is the world premiere recording of the new musical FIGARO with Broadway Records.
