The Housewive’s franchise LONGEST RUNNING wife, Kandi Burruss of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ has 2 NEW reasons to CELEBRATE! The singer, songwriter, restauranter and Grammy winner has been nominated for an Emmy and a Tony within 24 hours of each other!

On Monday, May 1, Kandi announced that she had been nominated for a Southeast Emmy Award in the “Historic/Cultural/Politics/Government/Societal Concerns” category for her work in La Musica de La Familia.
“It’s a project that I never even told anybody I was involved in,” Kandi said on Instagram about the Emmy Award nod. “Hopefully I will have another moment like this tomorrow, as they announce the Tony nominations tomorrow.”

Kandi did indeed have “another moment like this.” The day after she received her Southeast Emmy nod, the Xscape songstress and her husband, Todd Tucker, shared the exciting news that the Broadway show they produced, The Piano Lesson, had received a nomination in the “Best Revival of a Play” category for the upcoming 76th annual Tony Awards.

“Wow we are Tony Award nominated Producers! [Kandi] your[‘e] on your way to that EGOT,” Todd wrote. “What a great week[.] Emmy nomination and a Tony nomination!”

In addition to the couple’s Tony Award nomination, The Piano Lesson was recognized in three separate categories for the upcoming Drama League Awards, and in five for the Drama Desk Awards.

Back in January, while The Piano Lesson was still a few weeks away from finishing its run, Kandi and Todd learned that it had become the “highest grossing August Wilson play” in history.

“[D]ream coming true,” Kandi noted on Instagram about the accomplishment.
It seems as if Kandi and her family STAY WINNING. This could be a MAIN REASON that her ‘HOUSEWIVES’ cohorts both past and present, stay GUNNING for her! And speaking of which, the 15th season of RHOA returns this Sunday, May 7th on Bravo!
From the TRAILER, it appears that Kandi is the CENTER of ALOT of the drama for the UPCOMING season, so you won’t want to MISS this as Kandi LAUGHS her way all the way to these AWARD CEREMONIES!
