Each day, the Bbox team trolls YouTube for the hot clip—sometimes it's a brand-new moment and sometimes it's a throwback to an oldie but goodie. No matter what praise hands are shot up, pearls are clutched and the repeat button is hit.
"Push Da Button" from The Color Purple (Heather Headley and Company)
Ulterior Motives: MCC Theater recently announced that they had rescheduled their online presentation of MISCAST20 to September 13 at 8pm EST. We've marveled at the outstanding performances delivered during this benefit concert over the years. Some of the awesome performers recently announced to appear are Beanie Feldstein (Hello, Dolly!), Joshua Henry (Carousel), Rob McClure (Mrs. Doubtfire), Nicolette Robinson (Waitress), Phillipa Soo (Hamilton) and Adrienne Warren (Tina). Also set to perform? Heather Headley. The Tony winning AIDA star made a glorious return to Broadway as Shug Avery in the recent The Color Purple revival and was sensational. We were so excited to see her on the MISCAST20 roster and can't wait to see which incredible song she will be performing!
Ultimate 🙌 🙌 moment: Heather Headley - how do we pick one moment!? Heather's Shug Avery is confidence, sass with vocals that are absolutely divine. Our ultimate moment, besides the AMAZING mic drop at the end and if we can't say the entire number, is 3:20 - 3:46. It is so thrilling. The combo of the powerful orchestra, the ensemble support at 3:31 and Heather's performance driving the song home? ::mic drop::
