I was nominated for Best Supporting Performer in a Musical by BroadwayWorld!!
a bonus newsletter.
Hello,
Hope you don’t mind a bonus newsletter because I have some really exciting news. I was nominated for a Broadway World Award for Best Supporting Performer in a Musical in the St. Louis Region for my performance as Sister Mary Robert in Sister Act at the Muny!!! Holy (literal) moly!!
It was such an honor to work at the Muny, play this role, and work alongside this fabulous team. If you could take a few moments out of your day to vote for me and for this production in some of the other categories (My immensely talented scene partner Bryonha Marie was also nominated) and/or send this newsletter to a friend if you feel inclined, I would be so grateful. We are also up for best ensemble, best dance production, best musical, lighting, and costumes.
Too often I think casting directors in theatre aren't willing to think outside the box, take the risk, whatever. I'm so grateful to The Muny and The Telsey Office for casting me in this role. I'd love to win this and affirm that disability representation is always a good choice and that disabled artists can not only authentically play disabled roles but also the ingénue!
Love,
Mer
Scout and I hit 100 shows with The Grinch earlier this month!
