Patina Miller has totally switched things up with her take on The Leading Player in Pippin. She is carrying this show in a way Ben Vereen, who originally created the role, would be proud of. Commanding the stage in her own way Patina Miller has earned her 2nd Tony nomination. Back in 2011 she made her Broadway debut in Sister Act which earned her the 1st. A graduate of Carnegie Melon University, it seems as thought Ms. Miller just popped up out nowhere with tons of great talent. She is the example of a triple threat in this show.

—Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical
—Drama League Distinguished Performance nomination
—Fred and Adele Astaire Award nomination for Outstanding Female Dancer in a Broadway Show
