"Being from New York, it's an amazing feeling to contribute to a show about New York," says Brown, who earned her fourth Tony nomination for her exhilarating choreography for Hell's Kitchen. "I started taking the subway when I was 13 years old because I lived in Queens and went to LaGuardia High School. Walking in the streets, I noticed how diverse New York City was. To bring that diversity to the stage—so many different personalities and energies—and to be able to pour that into the dancers' bodies feels good. I'm representing my hometown in my hometown."
