Broadway Ladies: Ms. Broadway January 2012: Nikki Renee Daniels

Ms. Broadway January 2012
Nikki Renee Daniels

WHY SHE'S MS. BROADWAY:  With several Broadway and regional credits on her resume, she's been entertaining audiences for several years in a wide variety of roles.  On Broadway, she's seen her share of hits - AIDA, Les Miserables (revival) - and flops - The Look of Love, Lestat.  It is her current role as the tragic heroine, Clara, in The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess that has her poised on the edge of real Broadway stardom.  She starts the epic musical with a gorgeous rendition of "Summertime," and ends the evening with well-deserved cheers at the curtain call.  Rave reviews and a major supporting role in this headline-making revival make Nikki Renee Daniels an excellent choice for the new year's first Ms. Broadway.
