For the 2nd year in a row, Condola Rashad is nominated for the Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Play Tony Award. Last year it was for the Alicia Keys produced Stick Fly and this year she is nominated for her role as Thelma in The Trip To Bountiful. Her work is recognized in this work over her Broadway veteran castmate Vanessa Williams who surprisingly did not receive a nomination. This could very well be her year to win. We think its safe to say she’s no longer up and coming. She’s here and her passion is clear. You can even hear it in her music.
She is the daughter of the phenomenal Phylicia Rashad, so, naturally she was raised in the theatre and it seems as though that’s where she’s going to be for a while. Rashad will return to Broadway in the fall.Orlando Bloom will join her in Romeo & Juliet
