You Might Know Her From

We are here with the one and only Dr. Dawnn Lewis. You Might Know Her From A Different World, Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, Young Rock, Major Crimes, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, Star Trek: Lower Decks, The Wood, Dreamgirls, and the Broadway production of Tina: The Tina Turner Musical. We talk to Dawnn about writing the theme song for (and starring on) A Different World, how she'll be involved in the Netflix revival, and what it was like when Jaleesa went to Africa AKA Hangin' with Mr Cooper. From her almost-runs on Broadwa–in Sister Act as Dolores and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying opposite Matthew Broderick–to her Hurricanes connection to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, we got into it all.  Patreon: www.patreon.com/youmightknowherfrom  Follow us on social media: @youmightknowherfrom on IG || @youmightknowherfrom on TT @damianbellino || @rodemanne Discussed this week: Tap dance Kid tour  Won the NY audition for replacing Jodi Watley in Shalamar at Leviticus Club  Michael Bolton concert show on Broadway
