Sergio Trujillo

Sergio Trujillo is a Colombian choreographer. Trujillo was the recipient of the 2015 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Theatre Choreographer.

Raised in Toronto, Trujillo studied sciences at the University of Toronto and also attended chiropractic school.

Trujillo explained his desire to be a choreographer: "I knew that Fosse was going to be my last show. What started to happen was that I began feeling restricted, bound and suffocated by somebody else’s work. I didn’t get to express myself, and I needed to do something about it."

In 2011, Trujillo had the honor of having four shows simultaneously running on Broadway; Tony Award winning Best Musical Memphis (Olivier Award, Outer Critics Circle Award, Drama Desk and Astaire Award nominations), Tony and Olivier Award winning Best Musical Jersey Boys (Greenroom Award, Olivier, Drama Desk, Dora, Outer Critics Circle Award nominations), The Addams Family, and Next to Normal, the recipient of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize.

Trujillo made his Broadway debut as a performer in Jerome Robbins' Broadway in 1989 and also appeared in Guys and Dolls (1992), Victor/Victoria (1998) and Fosse (1999). He made his choreographic debut with All Shook Up in 2005. That same year he choreographed Jersey Boys on Broadway, and he worked with the Las Vegas, West End, Chicago, and US national tour companies as well.

He is the choreographer for the musical The Addams Family, which had its out-of-town tryouts in Chicago in December 2009 and opened on Broadway in March 2010.
