LaChanze.
Perhaps best known for winning a Tony Award for originating the role of "Celie" in The Color Purple on Broadway, LaChanze is a beloved performer and Broadway producer. Audiences will be treated to a dazzling performance that celebrates highlights from LaChanze’s illustrious stage career. A Florida native, LaChanze grew up in St. Augustine before studying theatre, dance, voice, and acting at the University of the Arts. Her Broadway journey began with Uptown…It’s Hot!, followed by a breakout role in the original production of Once On This Island, where she originated the role of Ti Moune and earned her first Tony nomination. Just this year, LaChanze won her FIFTH Tony Award as Producer of Purpose, which won the 2025 Tony Award for Best Play.
