Greetings from Sin City!
I’ve been out of the loop lately…its because I’ve been in Las Vegas performing in “The Lion King.” This time around I’m in the ensemble and understudying the role of “Nala” (see pic.) So much fun. I’ll be here until January…then back to Hollywood!
I met Sindbad at a press event in Beverly Hills earlier this month. He was so funny and so nice.
Greetings to all of my beautiful friends out there!
News alert! I’m starring in a musical out here in Los Angeles called “ADDING MACHINE.” It opens on Saturday, January 22nd at the ODYSSEY THEATRE. I play the role of DAISY, who is hopeless romantic. It’s a great part with some great songs.
The Adding Machine is a 1923 play by Elmer Rice, and is generally considered to be the first American Expressionist play. The story focuses on Mr. Zero, an accountant at a large, faceless company. After 25 years at his job, he discovers that he will be replaced by an adding machine. In anger and pain, he snaps and kills his boss. He is then tried for murder and is found guilty. He is then hanged and wakes up in a heaven-like setting known as “The Elysian Fields.” Mr. Zero then begins to operate an adding machine, until Lieutenant Charles, the boss of the Elysian Fields, comes to tell Zero that he is a waste of space and his soul is going to be sent back to the earth to be reused.
In 2007, the play was adapted into a musical entitled Adding Machine with a score by Joshua Schmidt and book by Jason Loewith and Schmidt. The musical debuted in Illinois at the Next Theatre Company in 2007.
We run until the end of March, so if you’re in the Los Angeles area, come check me out.
Last Monday, January 17, 2011 I had the pleasure of attending the Los Angeles Ovation Awards. In Los Angeles there is a great organization called The LA Stage Alliance. This organization acknowledges the theatre community with an annual awards ceremony. Many shows keep their fingers crossed in hopes of being nominated.
As you may remember, last year I starred in a wonderful production: “The Women Of Brewster Place.” For my role as Lorraine, I won the StageSceneLA award for “Best Featured Actress In A Musical.”
Later we found out the entire cast and the show was nominated for 4 Ovation Awards!!!
Anyhoo…we went to the ceremony and I felt like a superstar! We walked away with 1 of the 4 awards were nominated for: “Best Production Of A Musical – Intimate Theatre.” What a thrill.

In this month’s Ebony Magazine a feature was written about Black Actor’s on Broadway. My name was listed on page 142 as a cast member of “The Lion King.” What an honor to see my name in PRINT!
