Battle, Hinton (b. 1956), actor, singer, and dancer. The charismatic African‐American performer, who has been singled out for praise each time he appears on Broadway, was born in Neubraecke, Germany, to American parents in the military, and grew up on bases in Florida, Kansas, and Washington, D.C. Battle attended UCLA and trained at the School of American Ballet and the Jones‐Hayward School of Ballet before making a sensational New York debut in 1975 as the seemingly spineless Scarecrow in
The Wiz. He was also featured in the revues
Dancin' (1980) and
Sophisticated Ladies (1981) and played the Motown singing star James Thunder Early in
Dreamgirls (1983), the show biz hoofer Uncle Dipsey in
The Tap Dance Kid (1983), the passionate GI John trying to save Amerasian kids in
Miss Saigon (1991), and the slippery lawyer Billy Flynn during the long run of
Chicago.
