"I love how passionately she feels things.
"To be completely honest, I think Indigo is a better person than I am," Williams says. While she is playing a child, Williams says that the character is not only relatable, but her energy is catching. "It's nice to lower the stakes in the grand sense of things, but also get into the eyes and the mindset and the ideas of a child and realize that maybe the biggest part of their day is whether or not they get ice cream - and not to diminish what that means because working hard and being rewarded for it is really important, especially for children."
"The beautiful thing about doing shows that are made with children in mind is that you get to kind of rewind and slow down and take in how big the world is to them," Williams explains. Our set designers and our creative team are just absolutely incredible. "Every time I see the set, I'm like, this looks like it came straight out of a book. "It's such a beautiful, beautiful show," Williams says. In this story, Indigo Blume is joined by friends such as Dairy Parton, Duck Ellington and Chickee Minaj as she sets out to clean up her community and find her voice. With a cast of just six actors, "Acoustic Rooster's Barnyard Boogie Starring Indigo Blume" is the musical combination of two books by Kwame Alexander. With theatrical credits such as "Sister Act," "The Color Purple," "Always.Patsy Cline," "Aida," "Little Shop of Horrors," "Ain't Misbehavin'" and more, she embraces the opportunity to be a little silly. Performing as Indigo Blume offers a rare opportunity for singer, performer and educator Kanysha Williams - the opportunity to be a kid again.
