Fun fact: My dad is actually an Uber driver and he actually drove her to rehearsal. He text me all excited after he realized who she was.
She’s a LEGEND. She’s bares her heart and soul into everything she does. I’ve seen her in many shows and cabarets and always leave happy and inspired. THANK YOU Auntie Lillias
I just saw her in Hadestown and she was INCANDESCENT. A true goddess.
She is going to get a standing ovation every performance.
Can't believe she's gonna play Hermes. It's gonna be incredible.
As if her casting alone didn’t have me looking at tickets, this video just confirmed my purchase. 🤩

Love Lillias White. I know her from Sesame Street when she played Lillian Edwards, and ran a home care from her apartment on Sesame Street, and was introduced in 1990 (season 21, Episode 2681) when Maria was seeking a good daycare for Gabi. She became a regular cast member the following season (1990-1991, season 22). A kindly woman with a Jamaican accent, Lillian took care of human children and monsters on the show for 3 years in the early 90's, from 1990 to 1993 (seasons 21 to 24), winning a Daytime Emmy Award for the role in 1992. During her time as a cast member, she sang on a number of segments such as "Every Bit a' Litter Hurts," "Hand Talk," and "Part of the Whole." She also voiced the lead singer of the Squirrelles. A kindly woman with a Jamaican accent, Lillian took care of human children and monsters alike for four seasons.
White is best known for her work as a Broadway actress, portraying Miss Jones in the revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (with Matthew Broderick, Jonathan Freeman, Megan Mullally, and the voice of Walter Cronkite); Sonja in The Life, for which she won a Tony Award; Effie in a concert version of Dreamgirls; and substituted as Grizabella in Cats. Her film roles include the voice of the lead Muse in Disney's animated feature Hercules and a small part in How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Television credits include guest roles on Law & Order and NYPD Blue. She is also a prominent house-music singer and has worked extensively with producer George Morel.
White returned to Sesame Street in season 37, appearing in episode 4112 as Miss Walsh, Gabi's and Miles's kindergarten teacher, in a flashback sequence. In 2006, she performed at the Annual Sesame Workshop Benefit Gala.

the only way to know your starpower is legendary, look at the cameraman and if you see him smiling even when in a mask, you dead know you've got IT!
Hilarious since she beat the woman who played this role in the 1997 revival for best featured actress when she was in The Life
Here because she's one of the muses and I wanted to hear her singing voice
If i could sing like this, i would never shut up
Ms. Hermes!
I love her necklace kept sitting places :)
i wanna be her when i grow up
♥️👏♥️👏
She is amazing. Telling the truth.; I did not know her . Sorry guys :-)
in rehearsal for chicago? nah y’all are lying this is just a deleted scene from the get down (2016) /j
Wait shes 70!!!!!?????
I kneel before this woman
Oh bitch.. YES QUEEN
Let the shoe tossing comence.
sometimes the riffing be too much, but she sounds great love to see a lady in the role
To be honest...it was okay...she could do better...I have seen her done better....her vocals was quite off..it appeared she was struggling...Lillia is not giving 100%....sorry....
Well she’s clearly older now. Voices tend to give out and not only that, but this is rehearsal. Cut her some slack
@@aweful agreed...cut her some slack and voices tend to give out..
Stop hating on his reply. I have seen Miss White 11 times on stage and she was not at her full capacity here.I have no doubt that she will be just fine on that stage.
Well she also hasn’t done shows in a while due to ummm… Idk COVID? 🤷🏾♂️ Calm down it’s just a rehearsal and regardless of it all she’s still killing it at the age of 70!!
this is just strange.
all these useless people standing around in masks acting like they’ve never heard this before.
Stay safe & healthy, don't go the Yankees route & infect half the team b4 opening
Ummm no. She butchered that song
I rather liked it but to each their own :)
Not really sure how one butcher's a Chicago song. 🙊
said mark. a nobody who can't do half of what that lady does lol
I personally loved her take on it, but we all have our opinions.
It’s called a sneak peek for a reason, I’m sure this is nothing like how it will sound once the show opens. She was just having fun! This a LEGEND! She knows music! I guarantee she is gonna bring the house down once the song is in her throat. LOG OFF!
