Anthony LaGuardia is a Singer/Dancer/Actor/Artist based in Nashville, TN. He is a born and bred midwestern spirit from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where his love and education of the arts was nurtured at a very young age. From an early start in the business, he did local ad campaigns, children's theaters, state choirs, and show choirs, taught and took classes at a local dance studio, choreographed for dance teams and solo competitions, and participated in a professional singing group until the end of his senior year of high school. Anthony then attended The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City where he graduated with an Associates degree in Musical Theatre, a focused and honed in skill set worthy of the industry, and life experiences like how to get rid of bed bugs in your dorm room and a repetition of the phrase "yes, like the airport."

While pursing his career in New York, Anthony has worked consistently in and out of the city. Regional: "Hairspray" (Fender), "Dreamgirls" (Dave) at The Arts Center of Coastal Carolina and "42nd Street" at Merry-Go-Round Playhouse. International Tours: "Chicago" 2012/2013/2015 onboard the Allure of the Seas with Royal Caribbean Productions/NAMCO (Bailiff, Spirit of Fosse, Mary Sunshine u/s), and "Blue Planet" as a soloist/aerialist with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines. National Tours: "Disney's Beauty and the Beast" 2013/2014 with NETworks Presentations (Assistant Dance Captain, Swing, Lefou u/s, Monsieur D'Arque u/s, Carpet u/s). Although he likes to joke that his work as a swing has given him a slight case of Multiple Personality Disorder, Anthony regards it as a great accomplishment and is so grateful for the experience of being a swing, feeling it has given him a greater appreciation and insight to the business. The from 2015-2019, Anthony performed in the Broadway Tour of CHICAGO playing such roles as Aaron and Doctor/Judge, as well as understudying the role of Mary Sunshine. His time with CHICAGO was an incredible adventure getting to work with Broadway legends like Ann Reinking and Walter Bobbie, and getting to travel both domestically and abroad in amazing places like Tel Aviv, Tokyo, Seoul, and Brookings South Dakota. Getting to do his dream show so early in his career was just that, a dream. He feels incredibly thankful and appreciative to the casting and creative team that allowed him to work and grow in this iconic show for 5 wonderful years.

These days you can find Anthony in Nashville, Tennessee dancing on a different kind of Broadway. Anthony is now a part of the creative team for Lately Productions and the Dance Director for Ranch Hands Cowboylesque, a new burlesque style variety show that tells the story of a ranch hand who lost his confidence and enlists his fellow boys in boots to help him get it back. Anthony regards this show as the most fun he’s ever had onstage in his career thus far, so it’s no wonder why he traded in his jazz shoes for cowboy boots. You can see him onstage every Friday and Saturday night at The Woolworth Theatre in downtown Nashville!
