Who Is Ali Stroker's Husband, David Perlow? A Look At Her Family's Role In Her Life

Ali Stroker's husband David Perlow, from Briarcliff Manor, New York, is a well-known entrepreneur, assistant director, media face, celebrity husband, and online personality.

Perlow has worked on Broadway plays such as Once On This Island, Blackbird, The Humans, and Casa Valentina as an associate and assistant director.

He has also featured in Wicked and La Cage aux Folles as a performer.

As a teacher, Perlow has worked with theatre departments at NYU Tisch School of the Arts, the University of Texas at Austin, and other colleges.

He also founded The Actor's Gym and the Attention Theatre, both of which assist impaired performers in obtaining theatrical roles.

The couple first met in college and again in 2015 at the Deaf West Theatre staging of Spring Awakening. Perlow was the one who stood by her when she won a Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical, the only performer in a wheelchair to do so.

Stroker recalled the event and said:

"He was extremely sweet at the Tonys, asking which side I wanted him on for photographs. I look at those photos and think, 'That's my dream.'"

"To discover this companion that wants to be by my side and is ecstatic about me. Arriving at this point in my profession and having this connection means so much to me."

She and Perlow, 37, married in July of last year after meeting in college and reuniting for the 2015 Deaf West Theatre staging of Spring Awakening.

Ali Stroker was involved in a horrific vehicle accident with her brother when she was just two years old. The actress was paralyzed from the chest down since then.

She became the first person in a wheelchair to be nominated for and win a Tony Award.

Stroker has been on "Glee," "Ozark," and "Blue Bloods" and has performed at the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, and the Lincoln Center in New York.

She is widely regarded as the first wheelchair user to act on Broadway, an honor she received for creating the part of Anna in the Deaf West Theatre's 2015 staging of "Spring Awakening."

At an AccessAbility Center event, singer and actress Ali Stroker discusses disability portrayal on Broadway. Stroker told her disability "origin story," detailing the vehicle accident that resulted in her spinal damage and subsequent paralysis when she was two years old.

She also reflected on advocacy, inclusion, and the value of representation throughout. Stroker discussed the episode that ignited her interest in performing as a youngster.

It was when she played Annie in a backyard production of the musical, much to the joy of neighbors and friends in the audience.

"Everyone was looking at me, but not because I was in a wheelchair. "It was because I was a celebrity," Stroker explained at the time, adding that she has been "hooked ever since."

"In a lot of ways, I talk about the 'hits,' the nice things that have happened in my life, and the highlights," she explained. "But it's also incredibly essential to me, to be honest about the stigma that society has placed on handicapped people."
