“Hamilton” star Renée Elise Goldsberry brings powerhouse vocals to ˽��ֲ� Sept. 30

Friday, September 04, 2026

When Renée Elise Goldsberry first sang the words “I will never be satisfied” as Angelica Schuyler in “Hamilton,” she helped create one of the most memorable characters in one of the most consequential Broadway musicals of a generation.

On Wednesday, Sept. 30, Erie audiences will have the opportunity to experience the Tony and Grammy Award-winning performer in a different setting when she takes the stage at ˽��ֲ� University’s Mary D’Angelo Performing Arts Center at 7:30 p.m.

For the ˽��ֲ� Institute for Arts & Culture (MIAC), the evening offers audiences a chance to experience the breadth of Goldsberry’s artistry beyond the role that made her a Broadway superstar: a dynamic vocalist and storyteller whose career spans theatre, television, film, and an increasingly personal body of music.

A Career Across Stage and Screen

Goldsberry originated the role of Angelica Schuyler in the Broadway phenomenon “Hamilton,” earning the 2016 Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical and a Grammy Award as part of the show’s original Broadway cast.

She later reprised the role for the Disney+ filmed version, earning a Primetime Emmy Award nomination and introducing her acclaimed performance to an even wider audience.

But Goldsberry’s Broadway career extends well beyond “Hamilton.” She has appeared in “Rent,” “The Color Purple,” and “The Lion King,” as well as David Lindsay-Abaire’s award-winning play “Good People.”

Her screen career has been equally wide-ranging. Most recently, she starred as the gloriously self-absorbed Wickie Roy in the Netflix comedy “Girls5Eva,” earning multiple Critics Choice and Television Critics Association Award nominations. Her credits also include “A House of Dynamite,” “Altered Carbon,” “She-Hulk,” “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks,” “The Good Wife,” “The House with a Clock in its Walls,” “Albany Road,” and her breakout, two-time Daytime Emmy-nominated role as Evangeline Williamson on “One Life to Live.”

A New Musical Chapter

Goldsberry is now introducing audiences to another dimension of her artistry.

Her debut album, “Who I Really Am,” features original music written by Goldsberry and draws from soul, blues, pop, folk, and the gospel roots that helped shape her as an artist. The result is a deeply personal collection that allows Goldsberry to tell her own stories in her own voice.

That journey is also at the heart of the acclaimed documentary “Satisfied,” which follows Goldsberry’s experience with “Hamilton” alongside the deeply personal terrain of family-building and new motherhood.

A Concert Built to Raise the Roof

Joined by a live band and backup singers, Goldsberry brings the energy of Broadway together with influences from soul, pop, and gospel. Her concerts are known for their high-energy and communal spirit, with Goldsberry’s powerhouse vocals at the center.

For audiences who discovered Goldsberry through “Hamilton,” the concert offers a chance to hear a familiar voice in an entirely new way.

“Renée Elise Goldsberry is an incredibly dynamic performer with a remarkable career spanning Broadway, television, film, and music,” said Dr. Brett D. Johnson, MIAC Artistic Director. “She has an extraordinary ability to command a stage and connect with an audience, and I’m thrilled that we have the opportunity to bring her to ˽��ֲ� University.”
