Steffi DiDomenicantonio
Pronounced Dee-doh-men-ee-can-toe-nee-oh, Steffi is a Dora-nominated performer based in Toronto who has acted and sung on stages across North America.

“Showmance” is not a real word; it was invented by people in the acting industry.

Time passes and the onstage feelings get confused for real-life feelings.
