Brandy Sings Home From The Wiz On The Subway In Disguise

Published

It’s exactly what you think it is. Often referred to as the vocal bible, the superstar artist boarded a subway train here in NYC, the 1 train to 50th street to be exact, and sang her little heart out. You can tell she was headed to the theatre, as she is currently on Broadway in Chicago The Musical as Roxie Hart, and wanted to a have a little fun in the mean time.

Watch below as Brandy begins to sing Home from The Wiz, which she has made very clear before that she would love to play the role of Dorothy on Broadway. She sounds great to us and we would love to see her in the role as well. However, we’re not so sure the NYC subway audience was ready for what Brandy had to offer and it seemed no one seemed to care at that time. They were all just trying to get to point B from A, which is the life of a New Yorker. It really never matters how talented you are on the subway. Its tough, tough world but Brandy handled it great.

Check it out! And if you have gotten your tickets to Chicago, DO IT!

Drew Shade is a visionary creative force at the intersection of Black theatre, media, and culture. As the Founder and Creative Director of Broadway Black, Off-Book: The Podcast, and The Antonyo Awards, he champions artistic excellence and amplifies the voices of Black theatre artists with intention, heart, and unapologetic pride. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Playbill, Deadline, The Observer, and Apple TV’s Dear…, and he's collaborated with brands and institutions such as NBC, BET, Audible, Universal Pictures, SheaMoisture, The Public Theater, Signature Theatre, National Black Theatre, and more. He has also served as a cultural consultant and curator for countless Broadway productions for over a decade — establishing himself as a trusted voice and tastemaker in theatre and media. In addition to his work behind the scenes, Shade is a performer and creative artist in his own right, with credits including Classical Theatre of Harlem’s The First Noel at The Apollo, The Preacher’s Wife musical at The Alliance Theatre, and a Sondheim tribute concert at Carnegie Hall led by Tituss Burgess. He’s also lent his voice to campaigns for Google and continues to explore visual storytelling through photography — from red carpets to press coverage. Rooted in joy, justice, and the belief that Black theatre is both legacy and revolution, Shade continues to build platforms and shine light where it’s long been overdue — so Black artists are seen, heard, and celebrated on their own terms. “Have a belief in yourself that is bigger than anyone’s disbelief.” – August Wilson
