NYC Industry Presentation of New Musical INK & PAINT
This past January, Miyuki performed in Newport NewWorks’ presentation of Danielle E. Moore & Marjorie Duffield’s new musical INK & PAINT, which tells the story of the five women behind Disney’s golden age of animation. Following the musical’s development at the NewWorks Festival in the summer, Miyuki stepped into the historical role of the Nisei Japanese American animator, Gyo Fujikawa. The reading was directed by Liz Carlson, music directed by Josh Kight, and presented at Roundabout’s Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre in the Black Box Theatre.
BEAU THE MUSICAL
Following an extended and sold-out summer run at Theater 154 , Miyuki reprised her role of Daphney in BEAU THE MUSICAL Off-Broadway at Out of the Box Theatrics’ new space at St. Luke’s Church on 46th and 8th. Earlier in the year, Miyuki made her Off-Broadway debut originating this actor-musician role downtown. A queer coming-of-age story told by a band of eight actor-musicians, BEAU is a new musical written by Douglas Lyons (book & music) and Ethan Pakchar (music) and directed by Josh Rhodes. Following a successful world premiere album produced by Sony Masterworks Broadway, BEAU’s Off-Broadway runs received much buzz and critical acclaim. BEAU ran downtown at Theater 154 all summer and uptown at St. Luke’s Theatre from October through January, 2026.
