“Watch an actor relish their part… at the top of her class”

Natalie Charlé Ellis lit up the stage in Brigadoon, fully reveling in every sly grin and playful bit of timing this comic role offered. It was clear how much she enjoyed sinking her teeth into the material, bringing an effortless delight that rippled out into the audience. Her performance reminded us just how captivating it is to watch an actor relish their part.

Ellis also stood as a rare modern example of an alto leading with charisma and spark — a refreshing break from typecasting. If more diverse vocal types were still being written for, there’s no question Ellis would be at the very top of her class and a household name. Her turn in Brigadoon was a vibrant testament to that overlooked truth.
