Tony Nominees 2013

Meet 2013 Tony Nominee: Valisia LeKae “Supremely Sensational She Is!”

Valisia LeKae started out in the church and made her way to Broadway. She’s had more than a little practice on Broadway with Motown being her 5th Broadway show. She has been seen previously in shows like Three Penny Oprea and Book of Mormon. In the new hit musical Motown she truly is Diana Ross. From the inflections in her voice to the gracefulness of her walk. It’s truly amazing to see someone just fall right into someone else’s skin so effortlessly. However, make no mistake, she is her own woman; Truly a star. Learn more about her in the Broadway.com video below.

She’s reaching and out and touching so many lives with the musical journey that is Motown. She was born to play this role. All of her practice and patience has finally paid off. LeKae has to hear a symphony as she walks down the street (especially when she’s wearing ESOSA Fashions) now that she’s nominated for a 2013 Tony Award in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical.

Other Awards For Valisia LeKae in Motown: The Musical:

-2013 Theatre World Award Winner
-2013 Outer Critics Circle Award nomination for Outstanding Actress In A Musical
-2013 Drama League Nomination for the Distinguished Performance Award
