Renée Elise Goldsberry

Goldsberry is, to me, one of those performers whose talent feels almost unfair. Her Angelica in Hamilton, that lightning-fast rap dissolving into soaring vocals, is among the finest single moments in modern musical theater. The Tony, Drama Desk, and Grammy were earned, not gifted. What I admire most is the long road behind that polish, the soap-opera years and Carnegie Mellon training that built an actress equally at home singing and acting, a balance most never master. There is a poised strength to her work, commanding yet gracious, that elevates everything she touches. She is a genuine double threat in the truest sense.
