As long as Paulus's now-obligatory "boundary breaking" direction involves Norm Lewis climbing shirtless over my lap, I'll be there. Can't you just picture what she means when she mentions "re-imagining" it?

Prediction, the emails shilling the production will claim that this is the most exciting show "since Sleep No More" and "even blacker than Best of Both Worlds.'

Oh Diane, you've left us even wearier than we were under the previous ART regime.

this will be interesting indeed.
i hope audra gets a little dirty for this one and let's her posture and grit get a little looser. let's add some hot sauce on all of that properness shall we?
and i hope norm lewis is naked. the whole show.
and, david alan grier sings? really?

If this production were a person, I'd let it in the backdoor.

Donthatecongratulate, David Alan Grier has done several musicals on Broadway.

He was a replacement for both James "Thunder" Early in the original production of DREAMGIRLS and Pseudolus in the Jerry Zaks revival of ...FORUM. He also originated the role of Jackie Robinson in THE FIRST and played the title role in Des McAnuff's revival of THE WIZ in La Jolla a few years ago.


Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

somethingwicked fantastic!

i primarily know him from In Living Color, which of course he was hilarious in. But basically as long as Norm Lewis gets naked, I don't care what Grier sounds like.
