Happy Pride! This month we are joined by actor, singer, and activist Angelica Ross. You Might Know Her From Pose, American Horror Story: 1984, American Horror Story: Double Feature, Claws, Transparent, and the Broadway production of Chicago. Angelica talked to us about new single “Purr,” that future music project, and learning to love her singing voice. She also gave us the scoop on playing eight shows a week as Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway and the nuances of Mary Sunshine. Plus, navigating the complicated and hilarious arcs on American Horror Story, channeling Diana Ross, and being cast in an Italian language film. We just loved Angelica! Stream “Purr”!
