Emilie Kouatchou's historic lead in "Phantom of the Opera"

[@stillherenow500]

There's a video of her singing All I Ask of You with Jordan Donica that I watch over and over. Gorgeous voice. Incredible chemistry. Makes me cry.

[@deborahminter6231]

Her voice is incredible 🎶💕

[@rockydavis94]

I don’t give a toss about black or foreign people playing different characters, she’s amazing

[@simduk9621]

Well … at least Broadway has way more diversity then NYS court system

[@carriecahill2130]

Amazing talent.

[@surfntrucks]

This headline is misleading. I thought she was playing THE Phantom of the opera.

[@deborahminter6231]

The title obviously says "lead" not the "Phantom."

[@soylentgreen9492]

Whatever award.

[@BunkMasterFlex77]

Did you land the role because of your ability?
No, I'm black.

[@mikeborowski6000]

You have got to be f#cking kidding. Her voice is BEYOND.

[@deborahminter6231]

Have you listened to her sing, or are you only a troll?

[@Sean_from_the_heights]

We get it you can’t handle diversity, 1950s has been long gone dude

[@JudehEmpire]

The first black and she's Cameroonian. Congratulations.
