Danielle Brooks Won't Go Back to Broadway Any Time Soon
by EG
Danielle Brooks made a name for herself on Broadway, but she won’t do any musicals anytime soon.
“It’s too taxing on the voice,” the former “Color Purple” stage actress, 27, told New York Magazine.
Brooks earned a 2016 Tony nomination for Best Featured Actress in a musical for her role as Sophia.
“And it’s too many obstacles with that because it’s not only your voice that you have to take care of, but it’s like, can you hear the sound that day?” Brooks explained. “You might have a new pianist, so how does he play different than the other one, or there are cell phones going off, there’s distractions. Or like, oh, I can’t hear the drums this time, or like, the sound went out during my speech. It’s too many moving parts for a musical for me right now. We the hell out.”
