Stephanie Mills is making her return to Broadway. The Grammy winner is set to step into the role of Hermes in the critically acclaimed Tony Award-winning musical “Hadestown” starting July 2 at the Walter Kerr Theatre. Mills first captured hearts as Dorothy in the original Broadway production of “The Wiz” in 1975.
“After nearly 50 years in the entertainment business, which is all I’ve ever known, every fiber of my professional being I owe to the discipline of my Broadway training as a child at the beginning of my career,” Mills shared in a statement. “The joy of life’s full circle moment for me is returning to my roots—only this time as Hermes in Hadestown. Power!”
