In this special episode, we’re giving Allyson Kaye Daniels her well deserved flowers celebrating a powerhouse performer whose talent and dedication have left a mark across stage and screen. From lighting up Broadway in the latest revival of The Wiz and 1776, to captivating audiences Off-Broadway in Unexpected Joy, Elf The Musical, and Sistas: The Musical, Allyson’s artistry is both dynamic and deeply rooted in storytelling. We dive into her experience bringing The Wiz to life, what the show means to her, the legacy she carries within it, and the joy and responsibility of being part of such an iconic production. Allyson also reflects on her journey through national tours of Elf and The Color Purple, sharing the lessons, growth, and unforgettable moments along the way. Beyond the stage, you may recognize her from television appearances in Law & Order: SVU, FBI: Most Wanted, Living With Yourself, and Fort Tilden. And when she’s not performing, she’s pouring into the next generation as a teaching artist, bringing music and theatre education to communities across the country.
This episode is a celebration of artistry, resilience, and impact. Allyson Kaye Daniels isn’t just performing but she’s inspiring, teaching, and shaping the future of the craft. We honor her journey, her voice, and the brilliance she continues to share with the world. Don’t miss our conversation tonight!

Hearing @akayedaniel sing Maltby, Jr. & Shire is simply incredible. See her now on stage at the historic Marjorie S. Deane Little Theater in #AboutTimeMusical.
We closed THE WIZ REVIVAL on Broadway a year ago. Time sure flies and a what a TIME it was. There were many more moments with many more people that just were not captured. But I love them all! All I can say is, CHILE, we made it!!!!

I love everything these humans do to and for my hair and I’ll be seeing them soon to get it touched up!! Honestly, the pics don’t even do their work justice.
