Tony winner Alex Newell—the first openly non-binary performer to win a Tony Award in an acting category for their role as Lulu in Shucked—offers concerts at London's Cadogan Hall September 1 at 2:30 PM and 6:30 PM.
Newell's special guest is Marisha Wallace, who was Olivier-nominated for her performance as Miss Adelaide in the immersive London revival of Guys and Dolls.
Newell, who also starred on Broadway in the revival of Once On This Island, first garnered attention in the critically acclaimed musical series Glee as
transgender student Wade “Unique” Adams. Their other TV credits include Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, Our Kind of People, and Empire. Newell has also received Critics Choice, Gold
Derby, Screen Actors Guild, Hollywood Critics Association, and Grammy nominations.
