@54below: This post is part of a series celebrating Black artists who have made history on stage and beyond! All month long, we’ll highlight some of the brightest stars who have graced our stage, and have set/broke records in the last 50 years. Melba Moore originated Dionne in Hair (1968), where her soulful, captivating performance of “Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In” stopped the show. She followed this with a Tony-winning run as Lutiebelle in Purlie (1970) and later become the 1st Black actress to play Fantine in Les Misérables (1995). We're delighted to highlight her incredible talent this month! Find our current Black History Month programming below.
