VIDEO: Broadway Veteran Lynnie Godfrey Performs With Children's Chorus

By:



When stage and screen vet Lynnie Godfrey learned about how little music education was available in Allentown, PA, she assembled a children's chorus.

The chorus, funded partially by a grant from the Allentown school district, is free of charge for members.

It is made up of 15 children between the ages of 6 and 12.

Godfrey and her chorus stopped by 69 News to perform a holiday number recently. Check out the video!

Godfrey was in the original Broadway production of Eubie! in 1978, for which she received a Drama Desk nomination. She received the Dramalogue and NAACP Awards for Outstanding Performance by a Supporting Actress for her portrayal in No Place to Be Somebody. She received the AUDELCO Award for Outstanding performance for her work in Shuffle Along. For directing, Ms. Godfrey received the Tyrone Guthrie Award. She has received the NAACP Award for Best Producer, as well as the AUDIO EARPHONE Award and the Benjamin Franklin Award for her recording of the the title role in Snow Queen, among others.
