Tyrah Skye Odoms Is The Sweetest Star Of Our Town

Published

It takes a special talent, a certain discipline,  and a killer work ethic to be a star on Broadway. Now, imagine being able to do that at 8 years old. Tyrah Skye Odoms is doing just that  and she has stolen our hearts. She is currently in the cast of Annie on Broadway playing the role of orphan Kate. She is also the youngest member of the original cast. Last night, she put another credit on her Broadway resume in the Actors Fund benefit reading of Our Town. Working alongside Tony Award winner Adriane Lenox and BroadwayBlack favorite Leslie Odom Jr, she made it known that she is here to stay.

Tyrah Skye Odoms is what a child star should be. She loves Beyonce (double points), she exudes confidence without arrogance and maintains her innocence while working in a business that can sometimes be a little much for a child her age. It is very apparent that she has a great support system that will make sure she works in this business for a long time. We can’t help but to smile every time she comes across our twitter timeline. Check out some of our favorite tweets from her and watch as she introduces herself to you as the oprhan Kate below! We look forward to all that is to come from Tyrah Skye Odoms! SHE’S A TRUE STAR!

Tell Us She’s Not The Cutest Broadway Star Ever And You’d Be Lying!

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
