Broadway’s Emilie Kouatchou says being the first Black female lead of PhantomoftheOpera is “magic.”
“I think my mindset was still that this role was not for me, which is just a sad reality,” she explained. “And it took a lot of unlearning just to be able to say, ‘No, I can do this.’”during her audition, Kouatchou felt confident. “I knew I could sing the heck out of Christine,” she added.

Oh, baby we had a ball at the Majestic. I am just so so grateful for everyone who came, who took the time to write such kind messages to me, and every single person who has supported my throughout the years,” KouatchouShe added: “If you’re Black and you’re reading this, TAKE UP SPACE. You are beautiful. This is our time.
