Put Marisha Wallace in Dreamgirls again.  She was the best Sally replacement on Broadway in Cabaret.

She has done a few things like a short theater run of The Preacher's Wife in Atlanta or the cheesy single black female movies or the game show circuit. So take that for what you will.

“Cheesy Black female movies” is teetering into the dreaded R word. Let’s be careful in how we diminish someone’s career.

"

 Referencing a movie "Single Black Female" that she actually made is hardly diminishing anyone.

Suzcap said, " cheesy single black female movies" - referring to the 3 Lifetime movies Riley made called Single Black Female. Capitalization would've helped but it's still clear, at least to me, that the actual title was being referenced.

Except I said THE chessy single black female movies, not sure why some are trying to twist  this..  I listed some of her projects after someone else was actually claiming she had done nothing,

Ditto.

if you can't handle doing 5 shows/week, you don't belong in theater. Has she worked since Dreamgirls?"

She did 7 performances a week for 8 months before she got sick.
