Join us for the opening performance of our 26-27 UCLS Season with Tony Award winning and Grammy nominated actor and singer, Alex Newell.
Alex Newell recently made history with their Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical in “Shucked,” which has received glowing reviews and praise of Alex’s performance of the song “Independently Owned” that resulted in a Drama Desk Award and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Performer in a Broadway Musical. Prior to this, Alex’s role as the god Asaka in the Broadway revival of “Once on This Island” granted Alex a Grammy nomination for Best Musical Theatre Album, nominated for nine Tony Awards in 2018, won Best Revival, and featured Alex’s song “Mama Will Provide,” which they performed live at the Tonys.
