I know Patti is an active girl and still touring, but she's also 81. She can no doubt sing it, but it'd be a lot for her I'm sure."
sadly you’re right - she couldn’t agree terms - would have loved to have seen her in this!
Nelly is to join the cast in the New Year though which will revitalise it a bit
Who's catching Yolanda's first performance as Miss Liza Jane tonight?
Anyone here seeing Ne-Yo make his Broadway debut this evening?

She's been in the show. She was performing last week. I think she had a break and is coming back.

As you can see... that post was from 2 weeks ago. She wasn't taking a break, she's splitting the role with Kecia until she leaves completely next week.
