DeBose's performance in 'House of Spoils' highly anticipated
DeBose first gained recognition for her role in the original cast of Hamilton. She later won an Oscar for her performance in Steven Spielberg's West Side Story. Despite appearing in several notable films since then, none have achieved significant success or showcased DeBose's full range of talents. House of Spoils presents an opportunity for DeBose to deliver a memorable performance and expand her genre repertoire.
