So I guess Cindy Adams deserves kudos for the scoop, but I have to say, I think its a bit obnoxious for a gossip columnist to divulge that someone is pregnant...
However, she does seem to be getting her broadway scoops correctly nowadays- i can only imagine the bad blood between her and Riedel!

Thanks, it's really annoying when a MAN says things like this about women and our reproductive systems. Just.....no.

Happy for her but I feel bad she was forced to announce earlier than she wanted to due to gossip spreading.

But that's what GOSSIP columnists do. They spill out everyone else's business.

Congrats to Audra! Although part of me wishes she revealed it like Beyonce did at the Grammy's.

Wait, so her Shuffle leave will begin July 24th. That's later than it was before Lady Day was cancelled, right? Who would have thought this would mean more chances to see her in Shuffle Along this summer!

Yeah, what does this even mean? Like...how?

Okay, so Savion Glover will join the cast to keep sales up during her leave in a role "envisioned" by George C. Wolfe? Is this...like...a new presence in the show? The wording is vague. I can't imagine who he would step in for among the four leading men, all of whom are on the marquee.
There is so much news in this announcement, I don't even know where to start.

I feel like this has turned into the world's longest 29-hour workshop, at Broadway prices.

I imagine it would be a featured dancing role.

It made almost a million dollars last week...so check that prediction again.

...I'm just thankful that I'm going June 1st, before all of these M. Night Shyamalan plot twists take place.

I kind of love the insanity of these developments! Looking forward to the 2111 production of Shuffle Along, or The Making of The Making of the Musical Sensation

Well, I've seen it twice and it felt like two different shows. Guess I'll go for three different shows!

Maybe Riedel is feeding her intel he can't publish under his name?
Maybe he's getting beat to the punch by his 86 year old co worker?

Just downloaded 2 of Giddens' cds. She is a folk singer. Had never heard of her.

I sure hope she can act. Audra's acting carries this show.
