Debuting in 2020, A Wonderful World, a new musical about Louis Armstrong, tells the story of his life, music and singular legacy through the voices of his four wives. Teaming up with my husband, Michael O. Mitchell (Apollo Theater; Broadway: Motown), we are commissioned by Miami New Drama to write, arrange and orchestrate the score for this important new piece.
Alongside scriptwriter Aurin Squire (This Is Us, The Good Fight), choreographer Rickey Tripp (The Choir Boy, Jesus Christ Superstar Live), and director Christopher Renshaw (Drama Desk winner and Tony nominee). The brand new musical is scheduled to world premiere at the Colony Theater in Miami in 2021.
Tony and Grammy award winning artist, and original cast member of the Broadway production of Hamilton, Leslie Odom Jr. help celebrate the holiday season with this exclusive performance featuring songs from his new album “The Christmas Album” including both of my arrangements and piano playing of “Ave Maria” and “Maoz Tzur” with Nicolette Robinson Odom.

Excited to share my arrangement of “Ma’oz Tzur” ~ a musical collaboration with Leslie Odom Jr and his beautiful wife Nicolette Robinson Odom
This track is really special to my heart as it’s an homage to my Jewish roots. “Stunning jazz piano break that creates a hopeful and optimistic glow” (BroadwayWorld)
