Ms. Broadway June 2020: LaChanze and Celia Rose Gooding

This is a first for us - a mother/daughter pair - being honored as Ms. Broadway. But, given that they both won the first ever Antonyo Award for Best Actor in a Musical off-Broadway (LaChanze for The Secret Life of Bees) and Best Featured Actor in a Musical on Broadway (Celia Rose Gooding for Jagged Little Pill) just last week, June 2020 seemed like the perfect month! 

Long one of our favorite actresses, LaChanze is a repeat Ms. Broadway (April 2014), and Celia Rose is definitely an actress we have an eye on for a long career, given her amazing debut this past season. Congratulations, ladies!
