Amber Riley: 'Cotton Club Parade' Star!

Amber Riley greets her Glee co-star Chris Colfer backstage at the NY City Center on Friday night (November 17) in New York City.

The 26-year-old entertainer paid homage to Duke Ellington as she starred in a live performance of the Cotton Club Parade.

“The main thing that attracted me was the era of the music,” Amber recently told Broadway World. “That era is one of my favorites to reenact and pay homage to.”

“I’m bit by the Broadway bug,” Amber confessed. “Totally and completely. I love being onstage. It’s a totally different energy.”
