Memphis Star Montego Glover Wows the Obamas at Ford's Theatre Gala

It’s no surprise that Montego Glover was invited to perform at the annual gala of Ford’s Theatre, taped on June 6 at the historic D.C. playhouse and telecast by ABC on July 2 as America Celebrates July 4th at Ford’s Theatre. After all, First Lady Michelle Obama and her daughters had already enjoyed Glover’s performance as Felicia Farrell in Memphis during a spring trip to NYC. Well, Montego did Broadway proud at the gala in a roof-raising performance of “Colored Woman.” Glamorously dressed in a strapless violet gown, the Tony nominee gave it her all and was rewarded with cheers from President and Mrs. Obama in the front row. Take a look at Montego’s performance, and get goosebumps!
