The legendary Icon Leslie Uggams will be honored with the ICON Award from Porchlight Music Theatre on September 14th at Ritz Carlton. Ms Uggams was most recently seen in Season 3, Ep 7 of The Guilded Age, but she is legendary for playing Kizzy in Roots, Blind Al in the Deadpool movies, her Tony Award winning performance in “Hallelujah, Baby,” and her powerful performance as the Mother in American Fiction (2023). And truthfully, we haven’t begun to cover her incredible career.





Catch this interview with Ms. Uggams and then purchase tickets to attend the ICON Gala in her honor (and likely meet Ms. Uggams) on Sunday, September 14th for a grand lunch at The Ritz Carlton Hotel at Water Tower Place.





More information can be found and tickets can be purchased at: www.PorchlightMusicTheatre.org
