His passing was announced by students Dixon, Vosk and Owen Rozanski. A cause of death was not immediately available.

Waddell had studied voice at Illinois Wesleyan University where, upon graduating in 1963, he set his sights on the opera stages of New York City.

Finding few opportunities in opera for Black performers, Waddell moved to West Germany, where he became a trailblazer in his field for people of color,...

Season 2 of Hazbin Hotel will delve deeper into Hell and its rulers, showcasing the Overlords' power shift. The antagonist, Vox, will play a more prominent role, leading to a focus on Hell's world and Overlord hierarchy. Hazbin Hotel's staff faces challenges as Heaven's interference wanes, potentially sparking changes in Hell's balance of power.

Hazbin Hotel creator Vivienne Medrano reveals that season 2 and beyond will explore more of Hell and the Overlords who rule over it while at San Diego Comic-Con. The Prime Video animated musical comedy is a tale of Lucifer's daughter, Charlie Morningstar (Erika Hennigsen) setting out to help rehabilitate and redeem the sinners of Hell. Following Heaven's defeat in season 1, the hotel may be in the midst of reconstruction in season 2, but the powers that rule Hell are already shifting the hierarchy.

With Hazbin Hotel's long-term future guaranteed, Medrano revealed to Screen Rant how season 2 will...

Warning: This list contains spoilers for Hazbin Hotel season 1.

Lilith's voice in Hazbin Hotel season 2 has not been cast yet, and little is known about the character's personality. Potential actresses to play Lilith include Evan Rachel Wood, Mallory Jansen, and Mara Wilson. Some other potential choices with musical talent are Michelle Dockery, Sophie Carmen-Jones, Idina Menzel, and Eden Espinosa.

Lilith is expected to play a major role in the next season of Hazbin Hotel, and has yet to be cast. In Vivienne Medrano's unique vision of the afterlife, Lilith is the Queen of Hell, the ex-wife of Lucifer Morningstar (Jeremy Jordan), and the mother of Princess Charlie (Erika Henningsen). While Hazbin Hotel season 1 primarily follows Charlie in her mission to redeem Hell's Sinners at her Hazbin Hotel, the season finale reveals that Lilith herself has been residing in Heaven. Why she is there and what her grand plan...

Wacky characters and clever writing fuel comedy in Hazbin Hotel, mixing dark adult humor with themes of redemption. Dry humor and sarcastic characters contribute to the show's comedic moments, with talented voice actors elevating the jokes. Comedy in Hazbin Hotel isn't just vulgar or violent; it also highlights character flaws and hypocritical behavior with witty humor.

The funniest scenes in Hazbin Hotel season 1 are driven by the wacky characters and writing style of show creator Vivienne "VivziePop" Medrano. As a show set in Hell, it is unsurprising that Hazbin Hotel has a lot of dark humor, which accompanies an earnest story about friendship and redemption. In her mission to redeem Hell's residents at her hotel, Princess Charlie Morningstar (Erika Henningsen) meets and befriends many hilarious characters who turn the show into a cleverly off-beat comedy.

However, Hazbin Hotel's funniest scenes...

Charlie and Vaggie's strong partnership drives the Hazbin Hotel's mission with unwavering support. Memorable character pairings like Adam and Lute, Vox and Val, and Alastor and Rosie add depth to the plot. Alastor and Niffty's unlikely friendship, and Angel and Husk's complex bond make them fan-favorite duos.

The characters of Hazbin Hotel form some of the best pairings, including friendships, romances, rivalries, or even a brief connection due to a common goal. Most of the main characters fall into at least one important duality, which drives the arcs of both characters. Leading the way is Princess of Hell Charlie Morningstar (Erika Henningsen), who, with the unwavering support of her girlfriend Vaggie (Stephanie Beatriz), opens a hotel where the residents of Hell can redeem themselves.

During Hazbin Hotel season 1, Charlie and Vaggie face off with a duo from Heaven who will do everything to prevent demons from escaping Hell. Meanwhile,...

There’s a special place in hell — literally — for second chances, and it’s the Hazbin Hotel. That’s also the name of Prime Video’s wildly inventive new animated series featuring Broadway stars from the likes of Jeremy Jordan (The Last Five Years) and Lilli Cooper (SpongeBob SquarePants: The Broadway Musical) to Jessica Vosk (Elphaba in Wicked) and Daphne Rubin-Vega (Rent).

Hazbin Hotel follows Charlie (Erika Henningsen of Broadway’s Mean Girls) as the princess of Hell. She's on her ill-fated quest to rehabilitate demons, so she can reduce overpopulation. Papa Lucifer (Jordan) may not be totally jazzed about the noble effort, but Charlie prays that her new hotel helps those checking in so that they can check out and head up to Heaven. Girlfriend Vaggie (Stephanie Beatriz) is forever at her side.

Angelina Jolie brought 21-year-old son Maddox Jolie-Pitt as her date to the White House state dinner in Washington DC on April 26. The pair arrived arm in arm to the soirée, which President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden hosted for South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol. Jolie looked ethereal in a breezy white gown, matching blazer, and gold accessories, while Maddox looked sharp in a black suit and tie. The outing was a rare public appearance for Jolie and her eldest child, who studied at Yonsei University in Seoul and worked on the crew for Jolie's upcoming movie "Without Blood."

Several other notable stars were in attendance at the state dinner, including Olympic snowboarder Chloe Kim and "Fixer Upper" duo Chip and Joanna Gaines. During the event, President Yoon surprised guests by singing one of his favorite songs, "American Pie," before Biden presented him with a guitar signed by Don McLean.

Angelina Jolie and Maddox Jolie-Pitt enjoyed a high-profile night out on Wednesday.

The mother-son duo looked chic as they attended the State Dinner hosted by President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden at the White House in Washington, DC, honouring South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and First Lady Kim Keon Hee.

Maddox, 21, wore a black suit for the occasion with Jolie, 47, opting for a flowy cream-coloured dress and jacket. The actress styled her tresses down in loose waves and completed the look with a red lip and classic pearl jewelry.

According to a White House press release issued last month, the dinner marked the 70th anniversary of the U.S.-Rok alliance, “which is critical to advancing peace, stability, and prosperity for our two countries, the Indo-Pacific, and around the world.”
