Career

edit

She was also a Top 24 semifinals contestant on the fourteenth season of American Idol. She reached the Top 16 by votes, but fell shy of the Top 12—and was unable to obtain a wild-card slot. Thus, she was eliminated at that level of the competition.[4]

Lott was in the company of two notable Broadway musicals, following her time on Idol. First, she portrayed the quadruple roles of Esther Gordy Edwards; Lula Mae Hardaway; Gladys Horton; plus, one of the Vandellas, in Motown: The Musical (2016). She was also an understudy for the role of Diana Ross.[5]

Next, she served as a "Storyteller" amongst the ensemble cast; and an understudy/later replacement for the leading role of Ti Moune, in Once on This Island (2017)—winner of the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play.[6]
