Show People With Paul Wontorek

The name "Dumezweni" means "to be known in the world," which is fitting for this 2018 Tony nominee. Already a two-time Olivier Award-winning stage great in London, NOMA DUMEZWENI is now making magic in her Broadway debut in the acclaimed hot ticket Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Her portrayal of beloved character Hermione Granger earned her a 2018 Tony nomination. Despite having all eyes on her and the cast as they bring a new chapter of J.K. Rowling's phenomenal book series to life, Dumezweni exudes confidence, calm and an inspiring gratitude for the moment—and she is definitely having a moment. The talented performer stopped by Show People with Paul Wontorek to talk about keeping the casting secret of the century, how her daughter feels about her mom playing Hermione, what she wants to share with her twenty-something self and more.
