Ari’el Stachel
TONY® + GRAMMY® AWARD WINNING ACTOR, SINGER, WRITER AND ACTIVIST
A virtuosic impersonator.
— The Washington Post
Ari'el Stachel is a Tony® and GRAMMY® Award-winning actor, writer, and activist best known for his breakout performance in The Band's Visit. Born to a Yemenite Israeli father and an Ashkenazi Jewish mother, his career has been shaped by code-switching, cultural erasure, and the pressure to conform — experiences that led him to create Other, his acclaimed solo show which premiered at Berkeley Rep and made its New York Off-Broadway debut in fall 2025.
