Video: Nichelle Lewis Is Riding on the Wheels of a Tony Nomination
Nichelle Lewis is nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical.
Just two seasons ago, Nichelle Lewis made her Broadway debut in The Wiz. Since then, she's left Oz behind and made a new kind of home in New Rochelle, at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre, where she plays 'Sarah' eight times a week in Ragtime.
On singing the show's beloved score, she explained: "It's hard! It is really hard! I just saw Caissie [Levy] and we were both like, 'All right! Let's just make sure we save our voices, but then still sing tonight's show!' I never realized how impactful and important all these things like today would be for me. It just feels so inspiring."
Watch in this video as Nichelle chats more about her Ragtime castmates, the excitement of earning her first nomination, and so much more. Plus, check out who she is up against and catch up on all the latest Tony Awards coverage!
The 79th Annual Tony Awards will air on Sunday, June 7, 2026.
