We can say we told you so but we won’t. We’ll just point you in the direction of the feature we did with The man behind the smokey voice of Motown. It’s Charl Brown and he is nominated for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical. He portrays Berry Gordy’s right hand man, Smokey Robinson, in Motown: The Musical. This being his 3rd Broadway show (Jersey Boys, Sister Act) and his 1st Tony Award nomination has got to mean something special since 3+1=4 and Brown is a lover of Beyonce.
He’s charming audiences 8 shows a week and is thrilled to do so, sharing the Broadway season with his college best friend, Stark Sands (Kinky Boots), who is also nominated. Check out his interview on PLAY BY PLAY with Patrick Pacheco and Frank DiLella to get more insight on Charl and to hear him sing a little Smokey.
