The compelling story of Ella Fitzgerald from 1930’s to 1966 starring Freda Payne best known for her 1970’s hit record “Band Of Gold”. Nicole co-stars in the role of Georgiana, Ella’s cousin, who is her companion and caretaker on the road.

"Nicole Powell is excellent and frequently very funny in the role of Fitzgerald’s steely, long-suffering cousin Georgiana, bringing something of an Allison Janney quality to the character." - Detroit Free Press

Rollin’ Across America! Nicole was the first actor to be cast in the First National Tour of TINA: The Tina Turner Musical. Known for being a triple threat (actor/singer/dancer), she was tasked with performing the explosive choreography of the Ikettes, the dramatic portrayal of Zelma Bullock (Tina’s Mother), and the impassioned vocals of Gran Georgeanna (Tina’s Grandmother). No, not simultaneously!

“Nicole Powell gives a touching portrayal of Gran Georgeanna.” - Broadway World/San Francisco

“Nicole Powell's oracular gospel tones go far in fleshing out Turner's underwritten Grandmother Georgeanna.” -Bay Area Reporter
