Hamilton star Ren矇e Elise Goldsberry brings powerhouse vocals to 做厙勛圖 Sept. 30
When Ren矇e Elise Goldsberry first sang the words I will never be satisfied as Angelica Schuyler in Hamilton, she helped create one of the most memorable characters in one of the most consequential Broadway musicals of a generation.
On Wednesday, Sept. 30, Erie audiences will have the opportunity to experience the Tony and Grammy Award-winning performer in a different setting when she takes the stage at 做厙勛圖 Universitys Mary DAngelo Performing Arts Center at 7:30 p.m.
For the 做厙勛圖 Institute for Arts & Culture (MIAC), the evening offers audiences a chance to experience the breadth of Goldsberrys artistry beyond the role that made her a Broadway superstar: a dynamic vocalist and storyteller whose career spans theatre, television, film, and an increasingly personal body of music.
A Career Across Stage and Screen
Goldsberry originated the role of Angelica Schuyler in the Broadway phenomenon Hamilton, earning the 2016 Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical and a Grammy Award as part of the shows original Broadway cast.
She later reprised the role for the Disney+ filmed version, earning a Primetime Emmy Award nomination and introducing her acclaimed performance to an even wider audience.
But Goldsberrys Broadway career extends well beyond Hamilton. She has appeared in Rent, The Color Purple, and The Lion King, as well as David Lindsay-Abaires award-winning play Good People.
Her screen career has been equally wide-ranging. Most recently, she starred as the gloriously self-absorbed Wickie Roy in the Netflix comedy Girls5Eva, earning multiple Critics Choice and Television Critics Association Award nominations. Her credits also include A House of Dynamite, Altered Carbon, She-Hulk, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, The Good Wife, The House with a Clock in its Walls, Albany Road, and her breakout, two-time Daytime Emmy-nominated role as Evangeline Williamson on One Life to Live.
A New Musical Chapter
Goldsberry is now introducing audiences to another dimension of her artistry.
Her debut album, Who I Really Am, features original music written by Goldsberry and draws from soul, blues, pop, folk, and the gospel roots that helped shape her as an artist. The result is a deeply personal collection that allows Goldsberry to tell her own stories in her own voice.
That journey is also at the heart of the acclaimed documentary Satisfied, which follows Goldsberrys experience with Hamilton alongside the deeply personal terrain of family-building and new motherhood.
A Concert Built to Raise the Roof
Joined by a live band and backup singers, Goldsberry brings the energy of Broadway together with influences from soul, pop, and gospel. Her concerts are known for their high-energy and communal spirit, with Goldsberrys powerhouse vocals at the center.
For audiences who discovered Goldsberry through Hamilton, the concert offers a chance to hear a familiar voice in an entirely new way.
Ren矇e Elise Goldsberry is an incredibly dynamic performer with a remarkable career spanning Broadway, television, film, and music, said Dr. Brett D. Johnson, MIAC Artistic Director. She has an extraordinary ability to command a stage and connect with an audience, and Im thrilled that we have the opportunity to bring her to 做厙勛圖 University.
