Lotte Lenya Competition 1st Prize recipient Nyla Watson (Waitress, national tours of Hadestown, Wicked, and The Color Purple), one of Broadway’s next class of starlets, makes her NYC cabaret debut at 54 Below with An Ode to Audra. Nyla, a Cleveland-born NYC-based actor, concert artist, voice and acting coach, last seen on tour with Hadestown playing Fate 2 and covering Persephone is ready to celebrate. After ten years in NYC, almost a decade of abstinence, a reintroduction to the industry, and a host of other personal and professional accomplishments, it’s time to give credit and gratitude to the voice that gave Nyla the permission to be, Audra McDonald. Singing some of McDonald’s most acclaimed selections from George Gershwin to Stephen Sondheim, come and witness one of NYC’s best cross-trained voices give honor where it is most certainly due. Count on some surprises and maybe even a mash-up or two.
Giving all glory to God and a proud graduate of Baldwin Wallace and NYU – Steinhardt. For all things Nyla Watson, you can keep up with her at www.queennyla.com or connect personally on Instagram at @brandnewnyla. Acts 4:7-12.
