“I never thought I'd be doing TV. I've always loved it, but I felt like...” — Shanice Williams Quote

I never thought I'd be doing TV. I've always loved it, but I felt like I was just going to do Broadway because that was what I wanted to do the most.

I started singing in my church choir, and then when I got to middle school, I had the coolest musical theatre director, and we actually did 'The Wiz' in seventh grade, and I was Addaperle, and my grandma was like, 'Why didn't you audition for Dorothy?' But I was too nervous for that.

Go out and chase your dreams no matter how crazy it looks.

'Once on This Island' is one of my favorite musicals, so to have the lead in that would be great.

I was lucky enough to make my Broadway debut in 'Big River.'

I own four copies of Robin WIlliams's Live on Broadway comedy special for HBO. One in Wilmington, one in L.A., one in my trailer, and one at my parents' house. I can watch it over and over again and it never gets old. He is the funniest, wittiest man on the planet!

I had already played a lead on Broadway before I ever did a film. I had had three, four seasons of stock with good, fat parts, good supporting and leading parts. And I had done, oh, God, over 400 live TV shows.

I want people to be obsessed with Broadway and theatre as much as I am.
