CHRISTOPHER JAMES FLORIO is a 21 year old actor, currently performing at the Riverside Center for the Performing Arts in their production of GUYS AND DOLLS.

A Fredericksburg, Virginia native, Christopher grew up tinkering with mechatronics and disassembling computers before discovering his passion for musical theater in local performance groups. Before graduating high school, he took on his first professional regional theatre credit while preparing to pursue his Bachelor’s in Computational Data Science & Mechanical Engineering.

While studying engineering at George Mason University, he continued to build his regional performance repertoire, proving that sprockets and show tunes can coexist. Since then, he has performed with Broadway and West End veterans in various roles including some of his favorites:

Peter in Andrew Lloyd Weber’s JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, Rolf in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s THE SOUND OF MUSIC, and Bob Gaudio(u/s) in JERSEY BOYS.
