nope, chicago is STILL going....although on bway mama morton isn't necessarily a black female role (the original of the revival (haha) was white)

Queen Latifah was Mama Morton in the movie. Fredi - I can see it, I can see it now. *casts hand over crystal ball*
And what about Fiddler on the Roof? If they can cast Harvey anything's possible right?

gary coleman?

please elaborate...

hehe,
now something I feel intelligent about
Originally, writers Marx and Lopez wanted Gary Coleman to come down and do the readings, but couldn't afford his travel expenses, so instead they came up with the most ridiculous convention they could: rather than hire a Coleman lookalike (scary thought)they decided that the charcater should be played by a woman who looks nothing like Gary Coleman (hence the amazing Natalie Ventia Belcon, who is actually a full foot taller than the REAL Mr.Coleman)
The part calls for a soulful alto with comedic timing
You might wanna look into it

Am I too late to join in on the fun?

[JoAnne1]

Posted: 12/18/04 at 11:52pm

you mean i might wanna go SEE it!

in my free time......

but I don't really have to worry - I have the GREATEST AGENTS EVER!!! and anything that is really right for me - they get me in on...

now - if I can just get them some more recent headshots to work with..

(once again - in my spare time.... - actually upgrading my entire life in '05)

Everyone over 15 SHOULD see Q!!!!!!
It's a great show!!!


I'm sorry, when one is constantly trying not to sound like a shizkid for another show, sometimes it pops out

[JoAnne1]

Posted: 12/18/04 at 11:56pm

bso - the contracts are 1 year...

we've gone through this game every year since it opened...

i won't be holding my breath - but if they offer me the role - i'll eat it up, natch!

[BSoBW2]

Posted: 12/18/04 at 11:57pm

yea, true...but she has been in the show since it opened (not that it means anything) - maybe she'll leave soon...

there's always the tour....haha

[JoAnne1]

Posted: 12/18/04 at 11:58pm

not for me...

i'm done with the road unless i'm too broke to say no and I pray it never comes to that..

i've already spent too much time away from my family...

[BSoBW2]

Posted: 12/19/04 at 12:03am

yea, i figured that you wouldn't want to do the tour - well, you can always write a show and star in it....(cause it's JUST THAT EASY)

well friends
I'm out
you know you should go to sleep when you fall asleep by your keyboard

MUWAH!!!!!!!!!

bso - i love your optimism!!!

i feel the same way -- thus the screenplays i have on the market -

they are quite good (IMHO) and I do believe that I can be the next big thing in African-American film....

After RENT - i really feel like I can accomplish anything - ya know?

[BSoBW2]

Posted: 12/19/04 at 12:07am

unfortunately my optimism is not in this world - it's in an imaginary world (this is coming from someone who wants to see Dracula....again)

i know it's an invitation thing, but do you go to the tony awards?

would you rather be on bway or off-bway? straight play or musical? or just anything you can get?

wut up bonsing?

[JoAnne1]

Posted: 12/19/04 at 12:10am

I've been to the tony's ....

i'll go again if necessary (it's really more of a pain than a party....)

I'd prefer Broadway but I'd do Off-Bway if the role was amazing! I'm waiting for the next "JoAnne" to come along...

Hairspray would be fun and so would Mama Morton -
