Lea Michele, Brandon Micheal Hall & 'The Mayor' Cast Hit the ABC TCA 2017

Lea Michele, Brandon Micheal Hall, and the cast of The Mayor speak onstage during the Disney/ABC Television Group portion of the 2017 Summer Television Critics Association Press Tour at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on August 6, 2017 in Beverly Hills, Calif.

In attendance at the event were stars Yvette Nicole Brown, Bernard David Jones, Marcel Spears, as well as executive producers Daveed Diggs, Jamie Tarses, James Griffiths, and writer/executive producer Jeremy Bronson.

“I knew Daveed was part of all sorts of community groups and these small collectives doing music together,” Jeremy said during the panel about inspirations for the show. “And then when I read about Chance also starting out doing his poetry in the multi-purpose room of his high school, I thought it was very, very interesting.”

FYI: Lea is wearing an Elie Saab dress.
