In 2016, Adrienne Warren starred in the Broadway production of Shuffle Along. She played the dual roles of Gertrude Saunders and Florence Mills in the show. Director and writer George C. Wolfe told the Associated Press at the time that casting one person to play both roles wouldn't be easy. "And then Adrienne came in to audition and I instantly knew I'd found my miracle performer," he said. This show earned her her first Tony Award nomination for best-featured actress in a musical.
