Couldn't disagree more. I thought Billy Porter had a great show-stopping song and for me - seeing what happened after the show closed to the characters involved was enlightening.

Nada! Nobody knew?
Perplexing, they never gave it a chance but maybe Rhiannon was not impressing them during rehearsals and obviously not gonna be a big enough draw with Savion. Audra is the star featured-

Yeah - this isn't cool. Great show - my wife and I loved it. And Rhiannon Giddens is an incredibly talented person. And its not like this show revolves around Audra's character, either. You'd think a show so ravely reviewed and nominated could survive for awhile with people like Billy and Brian, et al. Just a damned shame.

Maybe some people don't live in NY and aren't locally privy to as much news. Not sure why there had to be attitude given for a reasonable question.
