Tituss Burgess

Emmy and SAG-nominated actor, musician, and writer Tituss Burgess is one of the entertainment industry’s most versatile and dynamic performers, with his work in television, film, and theater generating both critical and commercial acclaim. Tituss starred as ‘Titus Andromedon’ in the hit Netflix comedy series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. After four seasons on the show, he garnered nominations for four consecutive Emmy® Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series, and two Critics’ Choice TV Awards for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. He reprised his role in the Netflix interactive special Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. the Reverend and was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie. 

On stage, Burgess most recently starred as Mary Todd Lincoln in a limited run of Cole Escola’s hit Broadway comedy, Oh, Mary!. He made his Broadway debut in 2005 as ‘Eddie’ in Good Vibrations. Since then, he’s held many memorable roles, including ‘Hal Miller’ in Jersey Boys, 'Nicely-Nicely Johnson’ in the 2009 revival of Guys and Dolls, 'Sebastian the Crab' in The Little Mermaid, and ‘Harold Zidler’ in Moulin Rouge. In May 2024, Tituss debuted his own musical adaptation of The Preacher’s Wife at Atlanta’s Alliance Theatre.

Tituss will next star in the upcoming animated feature film The Cat in the Hat. He has also starred in the MGM Aretha Franklin biopic Respect, the comedy Set It Up and the biopic Dolemite Is My Name, both for Netflix. An accomplished voice actor, Tituss starred in the animated musical comedy series Central Park for Apple TV+, for which he was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance, his sixth Emmy nomination. In 2024, his voice talents featured in Netflix’s animated feature Spellbound, in which he starred as the voice of ‘Sunny’ - Oracle of the Sun alongside Rachel Zegler, Nicole Kidman, Javier Bardem, John Lithgow, Jenifer Lewis and Nathan Lane.

Heather Headley

Heather Headley

“Heather Headley is among the top singers with a vocal that absolutely astounds with its intensity... This woman is one of the great entertainers of the day, on record and on stage.” – Billboard Magazine

Tony and Grammy Award winner Heather Headley considers her multi-faceted career a blessing. She was born and spent most of her childhood on the beautiful Caribbean island of Trinidad. The family moved to the United States in the early 90’s where Heather’s love for the arts continued.

In 1997 Heather won the role of Nala in the original Broadway cast of the Elton John and Tim Rice’s hit Tony-winning musical The Lion King. While still in The Lion King, Heather was asked to audition for the title role in the writing duo’s next Broadway venture together, Elton John and Tim Rice’s Aida. Her portrayal of the Nubian princess, Aida, won her the praise of critics and the prestigious Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical. In addition to other awards, she also received the coveted Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical. That year she was listed as one of People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People and Essence Magazine’s 30 Women To Watch. In 2012 Heather made a triumphant return to the stage, starring in The Bodyguard in London’s West End, where she gained the critics praise and a new fan base overseas.

Heather continued her musical success on the pop charts with her 2002 debut album on RCA Records, This Is Who I Am which featured productions by several top-flight producers. Two songs, "He Is" and the album track "I Wish I Wasn’t," both emerged as Top 5 R&B and Dance chart hits. Heather earned numerous accolades for This Is Who I Am, including Grammy Award nominations for Best New Artist and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. Heather returned in January 2006 with In My Mind, her long-awaited second solo album. The opening title tune single became Heather’s first #1 hit, topping the Dance and R&B charts.

In 2009 Heather released Audience of One for which she won the Grammy Award for the Best Contemporary R&B Gospel Album.   In 2012 she released Only One In The World, an album that featured songs that Heather wrote as well as some of her favorite songs that she covered. To the audience and critics’ delight, Heather made her return to Broadway in 2016 starring in the Tony Award-winning The Color Purple in role of Shug Avery. In 2018 Heather had a recurring role on Chicago Med playing the formidable Gwen Garrett.  In 2021 Heather won the critics’ praise for her role of the Witch in the New York City Center’s production of Into The Woods.  Heather can currently be seen as a series regular on the Netflix series Sweet Magnolias.
