Posted: 10/29/04 at 12:52pmI can't wait! The story sounds very interesting and I'm sure Ahrens and Flaherty have come up with a stirring book and score. And what leads - LaChanze as a runaway slave and Rachel York as the white woman who harbors her. They both will play their characters through a span of decades, so they get to flex their acting as well as singing muscles. They had great chemistry together in "Lucy." This show should be terrific.
