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!
