Renée Elise Goldsberry

It was hip Greek philosopher Aristotle — with a purview ranging from the sciences to the arts — who coined a concept that still rings true, “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” Case in point: award-winning actress and singer Renée Elise Goldsberry.

The vocal virtuoso won a Tony and a Grammy Award for originating the role of Angelica Schuyler in the groundbreaking musical Hamilton. That role also earned her a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for the film. She has starred in many of the most beloved contemporary musicals of our time, including Rent, The Color Purple, and The Lion King. Onscreen, she played the world-saving action hero in the sci-fi dystopian series Altered Carbon, the heart-wrenching mother in the cult favorite film Waves, and Variety called the egocentric pop star she embodied in the critically acclaimed Netflix comedy series Girls5Eva one of the 100 Greatest TV Performances of the 21st Century.
