Early Life
Cecilia Petrush was born on 31st January, 2001, which makes her 25 years old as of August 2026. Petrush was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and was interested in performing from a young age. She worked in community and regional theater for more than a decade before seeking professional training. Petrush attended the University of Michigan and got a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in musical theater.
She also received a minor in Performing Arts Management and Entrepreneurship. She did theater internships and performing opportunities and was in Rent and other musicals in college. She then enrolled at the Upright Citizens Brigade, where she honed her sketch comedy and improvisational skills.
Family
Throughout her theater career, Petrush has publicly acknowledged her family. There is little information on her parents, siblings, and other relatives from reliable sources. She has kept her family life mostly quiet, directing the public eye to her professional work. In her published theater bios, she routinely thanks her family, teachers, friends, and mentors for supporting her profession.
Career
After years of community and university performances, Petrush’s professional career blossomed through musical theater. One of her first major credits was at GhostLight Theater as Amy in Little Women. She also was a waiter in Rock of Ages with the SRTC. These roles helped her grow in her experience in modern and traditional musical theater.
Her first major professional break occurred when she joined the first national tour of MJ the Musical. Petrush played the journalist Rachel in the production. According to her professional resume, she has performed in more than 360 cities in the United States.
The national tour was her first large touring production and exposed her to audiences across the country. Later Petrush was on television. Her first major foray into screen acting was with the Netflix comedy series Tires, in which she played Holly.
Her solid foundation in musical theater has been enhanced by her increasing screen credits. In June 2026, Pittsburgh CLO announced Cecilia Petrush would play Regina George in its production of Mean Girls. The show was held in Pittsburgh’s Benedum Center from July 7 to July 12.
“It was a very important production for Regina because it was one of her dream roles,” Petrush said. Another big opportunity arose in June 2026 when Petrush was introduced as an alternate performer for Ali Rose in Burlesque the Musical. The production is based on the 2010 movie starring Christina Aguilera and Cher.
Petrush was chosen after a worldwide search for the best talent and will play in the UK in the 2026 season. Her professional bio also notes that she continues to write sketch comedy and develop stuff for theater, television, and film. The combination of performance and composition has helped her to a broader creative reputation than traditional musical theater.
