In January of 2014, I got a call to work on a new musical about Billie Holiday that would feature Audra McDonald. I had no idea just how huge the show would be—what an experience.

Audra is a force of nature and was on top of her game every single night. It was amazing to be a part of this show.

I found this clip and thought I’d share. If you have HBO, watch the entire show. I was almost in tears after finally seeing the show from the audience’s point of view.
