L Morgan Lee made history as the first openly trans actor to be nominated for a Tony Award® for her standout turn in A STRANGE LOOP on Broadway. The performance also earned her a Drama League nomination, following an acclaimed Off-Broadway run that brought her an Obie Award, a Lucille Lortel nomination, and the distinction of being the first trans actor to originate a role in a Pulitzer Prize–winning work of theater.

She can be heard on the Grammy-nominated Broadway cast recording of A STRANGE LOOP, as well as on The Rainbow Lullaby Album (Broadway Records), Ethan Carlson's Her Sound, Vol. 3, Joe Iconis’ album (Ghostlight Records), and more. She also lends her voice to AKS Immersive’s DRAMA: AN AURAL EXPERIENCE as Zelda and the SUGAR MAPLE AUDIO SERIES (Osiris Media), where she brings life to “Sugar Fly Soul” as Ornate Williams.

Beyond her artistic achievements, L Morgan has a strong interest in mentorship and education, with a commitment to nurturing the next generation of talent. Since the early 2000s, she has been shaping young artists through coaching, masterclasses and more recently working in the University setting - empowering students to find, hone, and celebrate their own unique voices.
