Posted: 8/23/07 at 4:16pmWell I went to go see it yesterday and she was in and she did an AWESOME job. Off-topic but the Broadway Theatre has great sightlines.

Posted: 8/23/07 at 6:47pmOMG You Guys! She has only missed 38 performances! Give the woman a break! When you're sick, you're sick! Plus, she has a kid and that must keep her quite busy! Gosh!

Wasn't there talk a while back of re-releasing the cast recording with Fantasia on it?
Is that still to be?

Posted: 8/23/07 at 6:53pmIf Fantasia isn't there, her understudy Montego is AMAZING. Don't ger a refund. Her vocals are different, but strong. More similar to LaChanze's. Her acting is the real star of the show.

Posted: 8/23/07 at 6:56pmWanna be a foster, how do you know it's 38? Just wondering. And there are only aprroximately 32 perf. per month and she has only been on since April. That's a month in total that she has missed.
