Yay!! It's always good to hear a Caroline, Or Change alum will be back on Broadway.

I just love her. Wish I could see her in the show. She was wonderful in Caroline, or Change.

Great to hear that CAROLINE, OR CHANGE's own Miss Dottie will be back on Broadway during her GREY'S ANATOMY hiatus.

At least she can now afford to come back to Broadway if only for a few weeks. Oh, the blessed frills of a TV actress's paycheck.

Wish she was in it longer than 4 weeks. Come on Chandra, extend!!

Is she really that good? I've *seen* some of her in Avenue Q, and I didn't really care for her. I didn't see any of her in Caroline though. Can somebody direct me to some of her finer work?

Parks: Listen to the exchange between Chandra and Tonya Pinkins before the bus arrives in act 1. She is AWESOME!!

This was pretty predictable, but it's still an awesome casting decision.

She was excellent in Caroline or Change. So glad I got to see it and I would love to see her in Chicago. My favorite line of hers in "Caroline" is "Tell God Dottie say hey"

Chandra Wilson gave a performance worthy of a Tony-nod in CAROLINE, OR CHANGE. Unfortunately, along with Veanne Cox, she was snubbed by the committee who just didn't get the show at all. She also manages to rise above the awful material she is given in GREY'S ANATOMY, her work in that show is perfection. I am delighted to see she's coming back on Broadway, she'll make a great Momma Morton.

LOVE Chandra Wilson. I might just have to go back to the Ambassador now.

Veanne Cox's performance in Caroline, or Change was highly underrated.

I am going to have to head back to this show. I loved Chandra so much as Dottie. Never saw any of her other work, but based on that performance (okay, and I love her on Grey's Anatomy), I think she'll knock this one out of the park. Hope the rest of the cast is solid at that time and that she doesn't wind up overlapping with Usher or Lisa Rinna or some such.

Totally saw some "Mama" qualities in tonight's episode of Grey's Anatomy when she was talking it out with the Chief! Wish I could see her in the role, I bed she'll be great.
