“Among the top singers with a vocal that absolutely astounds with its intensity… This woman is one of the great entertainers of the day, on record and on stage” – Billboard

The 92nd Street Y, New York presents Tony and Grammy Award winner Heather Headley for an afternoon of music from her musical theater songbook, on Sunday, November 24 at 2 pm. Tickets starts at $55 and are available here.

Trinidadian-born and raised, Headley first gained prominence with her portrayal of ‘Nala’ in the original Broadway cast of the Tony-winning musical The Lion King. She quickly followed this up by originating the titular role in Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida, for which she won a Tony and Drama Desk awards for “Best Actress in a Musical.” Her additional stage credits include the musical adaptation of The Bodyguard, the Tony Award-winning revival of The Color Purple, and New York City Center’s 2022 production of Into the Woods. Headley can currently be seen on Netflix’s Sweet Magnolias, in which she stars as ‘Helen Decatur.’ The hit romantic drama series is set to return for its fourth season. Heather has been listed as one of PEOPLE Magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People” and Essence Magazine’s “30 Women To Watch.”
