Audra McDonald is unparalleled in the breadth and versatility of her
singer and actress artistry. Blessed with a luminous soprano and an
incomparable gift for dramatic truth-telling, she is as much at home
on Broadway and opera stages as she is in roles on film and
television. With six Tony Awards, two Grammy Awards (both stemming
from her LA Opera debut in Rise and Fall of the City of Mahogany), an
Emmy Award, and a long list of other accolades to her name, she is
among today's most highly regarded performers. In addition to her
theatrical work, she has a significant career as a concert and
recording artist, regularly appearing on the world's great stages. McDonald is perhaps the most astounding performer of our
lifetimes—a once-in-a-century artist with a miracle of a voice. To
hear her live is to hear "singing" invented right before
you. It's no surprise this Tony-winning actor of all time (with six
awards) and the only person to ever win in all four acting
categories. Her list of unforgettable performances spans Broadway
(Carousel, Master Class, Ragtime, A Raisin in the Sun, The Gershwins'
Porgy and Bess, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar & Grill, Shuffle
Along); solo albums (Way Back to Paradise, How Glory Goes, Happy
Songs, Build a Bridge, Go Back Home, Sing Happy); and TV and film
(The Good Fight, The Gilded Age, Beauty, and the Beast, Respect).
Acclaimed by The New York Times as a "one-of-a-kind musical
super-talent," McDonald was named one of Time magazine's
100 most influential people of 2015. She received a 2015 National
Medal of Arts — America's highest honor for achievement in the arts —
from President Barack Obama. In addition to her work on stage and
screen, she is noted as a passionate advocate for equal rights, LGBTQ
causes, and underprivileged youth. She is currently starring in the
CBS All Access drama The Good Fight. To learn more, please visit

generous support of the Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation, the
David S. Steiner and Sylvia Steiner Charitable Trust, the Joan and
