Broadway legend Audra McDonald promises not to shy away on stage as she discusses bringing her powerful talents to Australia for new shows


The Broadway legend, 53, has taken on some of the most iconic roles in musical theatre and has scooped up an Emmy, two Grammys and six Tony Awards.

As well as appearing in Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd and opera Porgy and Bess, she also played Madame Garderobe in Disney's live action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. Her set list will mostly be composed of theatre classics, but she has carefully selected each song to reflect her experiences as a black actress and singer. The musical theatre legend will begin her Australian performances in Perth on Saturday night before travelling to Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.
