Andrew Greiche was born in New Hyde Park,
New York on May 21st, 1997. Greiche
first picked up acting when he was in Kindergarten when he went to Disney
World, Florida with his parents where he participated in a children’s
production of Beauty and the Beast as
Gaston.
Later that year, his parents, Kathy, a high school World Languages Chairperson, and Michael, an auditor, signed
him up for acting classes and participated in various classes from 2002-2011. When
he was seven years old, he landed his first job as Harry in Dirty Laundry which starred Loretta
Divine. When he was eleven years old,
he discovered his passion for singing in his elementary school production of Surviving the Applewhites: the Musical. Greiche has acted in numerous college films at NYU, New York
Film Academy, and SVA. At age twelve, Greiche worked with Morgan Spurlock as
Jake Williams in Spurlock’s documentary of the book Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt. Throughout Greiche’s time in
Herricks Middle School and the time he’s had at Herricks High School, he’s played
as Captain Georg (George) Von Trapp in The
Sound of Music, Sky Masterson in Guys
and Dolls, Motel Kamzoil in Fiddler
on the Roof, Lieutenant Joseph Cable in South
Pacific, J. B. Biggley in How to Succeed
in Business Without Really Trying, and
Adolfo Pirelli in Sweeney Todd.
In 2013, Greiche participated in the NATS Competition (National Association of Teachers of Singing) in the lower high school division for both musical theatre and classical singing and won first place in both categories. He was also a semi finalist in the classical high school division in the Classical Singer competition that same year.

Greiche’s philosophy for his passion
is to keep trying and never give up on your dreams and he has to thank his
parents for their support and encouragement throughout the years. Currently,
Greiche is studying voice with Tammy Hensrud, a professor at Hofstra University
and a professional opera singer. He is also studying acting with Luke Delalio
at Herricks High School in a program called STAC (Student Television Arts
Company) which is a multidisciplinary program for students passionate about the
fine and performing arts. Greiche is also studying dance at American Theater
Dance where Natalie Portman also studied dance. Greiche plans on pursuing
musical theatre and film acting as a profession in the future and wishes to
major in musical theatre when he goes off to college.
