She was awesome as Celie when I saw it the other day on Feb. 11th. Will she become the new standby?

Isn't she already the standby?
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.

Montego Glover was excellent on Sunday Matinee. I saw Jeannette last week as well and Jeannette can sing like nobody's business, But Miss Glover did her "thang". It is wonderful to see the talent of the understudies, and you can't tell they're understudies. The flow of the show was just great.

I saw it on Friday and I found it really interesting that Darlecia (Nettie), is now an understudy for Celie. I cannot picture her as Celie at all. She's good as Nettie, but I cannot see her doing Celie.

Well because of her great acting as Nettie, I bet she could play anything.

Montego is a force... she needs to be a huge star. She is a back up singing in that crappy Kevin Kahoon video that was in the front page here for a few days!

wickedfanatic, according to the resume posted on Montego's website, she is the Standby for the roles of Celie and Nettie. Darlesia Cercy (Nettie) is the secondary Celie understudy.
