Epatha Merkerson from Law and Order. I'll let you guys know how that play is as well. After being impressed with the Little Mermaid, I'm definitely going to take full advantage free Broadway tickets. I used to give them away!

I want to see them all! Ho...Divine, I'm with you. I want to see them all! How lucky you are BGG! I love to see 'us' performing live. It just takes me away and afterwards, I spend days just thinking about each character. I know...I'm such a nerd. :-)K-Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12609518925078178384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795420044930522716.post-91096126806016750962008-01-13T13:29:00.000-05:002008-01-13T13:29:00.000-05:00Ohmiiiiigoodness!

Stew's songs are incredible, as is the whole cast. And what's amazing is the way they play ewith race...the all !lack cast also plays the white folks in Amsterdam and Berlin, too. It's really exciting that it's going to Broadway, and I'm so curious to see if it changesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795420044930522716.post-10238248157815497302008-01-10T21:42:00.000-05:002008-01-10T21:42:00.000-05:00I don't know the true story behind the Fantasia le...I don't know the true story behind the Fantasia leaving The Color Purple, but I do know that Chaka Khan is a horrible replacement. Yes she can sing, but her look is all wrong.<BR/><BR/>As for Anika Noni Rose (what a name) I hope she receives great reviews for her performance in the up-coming play, because she got no love in her role in Dreamgirls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795420044930522716.post-37704638373568281722008-01-10T20:19:00.000-05:002008-01-10T20:19:00.000-05:00I heard that Fantasia missed a lot of shows and wa...I heard that Fantasia missed a lot of shows and was quite unprofessional during her stint on Broadway. Not sure if that had anything to do with her leaving the show when she did, but she had a great long run. Remember, casts often change for Broadway shows. I recall Usher was in Chicago for a couple of weeks a year or so ago? Even Brian McKnight had his time playing the lead in Chicago. So cast members definitely change. Her contract was probably up.Brown Girl Gumbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689638268372975916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795420044930522716.post-47113228183787552742008-01-10T11:41:00.000-05:002008-01-10T11:41:00.000-05:00Oh how I wish I was in NYC to catch some of these ...Oh how I wish I was in NYC to catch some of these great broadway shows (not to mention a chance to see the talented and fine actor, Terrence Howard)!<BR/><BR/>Btw, what happened to Fantasia?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
