[7] [8] She also understudied the roles of Hannah Jarvis and Lady Croom in the 2011 Broadway revival of Stoppard's Arcadia . [9] Off-Broadway, Amato has appeared in Bill Irwin's Mr. Fox: A Rumination (2004), [10] [11] and as Emma in Trumpery (2007). [12] [13] She later costarred as Calantha in The Broken Heart in 2012, [14] [15] [16] and played the leading role of Olga Knipper in Neva in 2013. [17] [18] Amato also starred as Amanda in a production of Noël Coward's Private Lives directed by Maria Aitken, first presented in 2012 at the Huntington Theatre Company in Boston, [19] [20] and again in 2014 at the Shakespeare Theatre Company's Lansburgh Theatre in Washington, D.

Acclaim

Charles Isherwood of The New York Times wrote in his review of 2012's The Broken Heart that "Amato exudes imperial grandeur as Calantha", [15] and Andy Propst of TheaterMania noted that "audiences will also find themselves intrigued by Amato's warmly imperious turn as the Spartan princess." [16] In 2013 Isherwood called the cast of Neva "terrifically good", noting Amato to be "captivating from the opening moments" and writing that she "manages to make Olga's self-dramatizing histrionics absurdly funny, but also tinged with real pathos." [17] In 2012 The Boston Globe called Amato and her costar James Waterston "just about perfect" in their roles as Amanda and Elyot in Private Lives , praising their "style, dexterity, subtlety, and sizzling chemistry." [19] The review went on to say that "Amato cuts a regal, soignée figure — she can wring a laugh out of a single word, like 'inveterate' — but she is also skilled at physical comedy." [19] BroadwayWorld.com called Amato and Waterston "an unparalleled pair" in 2014, adding that "Amato is both grit and glamour, portraying a character that is brusque for her time, but immense fun to watch." [24] Ben Brantley of The New York Times called Amato's 2014 performance in King Lear "superb", [26] and the Brooklyn Daily Eagle called her Regan "icily alluring". [27] Joe Dziemianowicz of the New York Daily News wrote of the performance that "as second-born Regan, Bianca Amato's clipped and exasperated speech and body language suggest a woman who's up to her eyeballs in middle-child neglect. She's Jan Brady in period clothes." [28]

Awards

Amato won the Vita Award for Best Newcomer for Under Milk Wood and the Fleur du Cap Theatre Award for Best Supporting Actress for Greek , both performed at the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town, South Africa. Her portrayal of Philippa De Villiers on Isidingo earned her an Avante for Best Actress in a Television Series and a Duku Duku Award for South Africa's Most Popular Actress. [3] She later won the Star Tribune Award for best performance of 2004 for playing Eliza Doolittle in Pygmalion at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota. [3] Her performance in Private Lives earned her an Elliot Norton Award for Outstanding Actress in 2013, [41] and the Shakespeare Theatre Company's Emery Battis Award in 2014. [44] Amato was also nominated for a 2013 Best Actress IRNE Award for Private Lives. [42] [43]

Amato has received ten AudioFile Earphones Awards and two Audie Awards for her audiobook performances. [34] [48] [59]

Personal life

Amato was born in Cape Town, South Africa. [2] The daughter of "politically active parents", she "grew up keenly aware of the 'deep, deep troubles' of apartheid", and as a teen was a member of a left-wing organization called Pupils Awareness and Action Group. [2] Amato graduated from the University of Cape Town. [3] [4] Amato is married to Neil Kuny, with whom she has a daughter. [1] [85]
