For any Glee [1] fan, the name "Amber Riley" is practically synonymous with goosebumps. The 31-year-old singer and actress has one of the most incredible voices on the planet and is currently showing off her talents in the West End's production of Dreamgirls [2] as Dreamettes member Effie White. While at the Olivier Awards in London on Saturday at the Royal Albert Hall, Riley not only took home the award for best actress in a musical, but also hit the stage to perform her biggest, most dramatic number from the show, "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." It's an absolute knockout of a performance, and a reminder that her voice is truly unreal. Also, she might've gotten some Hamilton tickets out of the deal!
@Lin_Manuel [3] Thank you for being an inspiration to me and many others....can a sista get some tickets to Hamilton 👀 #notthrowingawaymyshot [4] 🤣
