Odom has joined a star-packed lineup of performers for the Super Bowl, with Pink delivering the pre-game performance for “The Star-Spangled Banner”. Unfortunately, Pink has been suffering from the flu, as she reported on her Instagram profile. And, Justin Timberlake is this year’s halftime show performer.
Leslie Odom Jr. is a Tony award-winning actor, known for his former role in the famous Broadway production, “Hamilton.” Signing tonight’s performance was a woman named Alexandria Wailes.
We are getting ready to watch @ajkwailes perform the National Anthem and “America the Beautiful” in ASL at the #SuperBowl!
Alexandria is a talented Deaf actress, director, dancer, & educator. We’re thrilled to have her on our t.co/hUOhgRwoFD team.
Stay tuned for the full performance video.
