We’re most familiar with Brandy as the velvety-voiced alto and as a nostalgic sitcom and horror flick actress.
These days we get to see her make history using both her singing and acting chops in the Tony award-winning Broadway musical “Chicago.” According to People , Brandy and co-star Lana Gordon have been noted as the first Black co-leads in the musical production’s entire history (21 years). In the play Brandy stars as Roxie, while Lana stars as her rival, Velma.
Congratulations! Who knows, perhaps Brandy and Lana could take home a Tony next year?
Take a look at Brandy performing as Roxie in the hit musical:
