Posted: 8/13/13 at 5:24pmWell, with the ages of everyone else they've been casting I guess she could play Ruth opposite Denzel in A Raisin in the Sun.
Oh boy.#2
Posted: 8/13/13 at 5:30pmThe sad thing about this is that she doesn't even have to be right for a role. All she has to do is say she wants to be in a play and producers will come running with dollar signs in their eyes.
Oh boy.#3

Ugh I am sick and tried of these people just coming to Broadway without paying dues. You have to work for it, BABY!
Like Debbie Allen said, "You have to pay... in SWEAT". Oprah has not paid.

Posted: 8/13/13 at 5:47pmWas Oprah an actress before her talk show? Or where did she get this acting clout from? Just being her? I mean, she doesn't strike me as someone who is going to strip away the pretense and really get into a character.

Posted: 8/13/13 at 5:51pmOh yes, Oprah, who has had everything in life handed to her on a silver platter.
Oh boy.#7

Oprah is disgusting. Allowing that moron Jenny McCarthy to use her show as a platform for her wacky and dangerous ideas about vaccinations.
That ain't Broadway.
Oh boy.#8
Posted: 8/13/13 at 5:58pmLike you use the board as a platform for your wacky and stupid opinions?

So talk shows should only cover what YOU agree with? And what she had on her (excrutiatingly successful) talk show has diddly squat to do with B'way.
I saw her on an interview for The Butler, and she talked about working with an acting coach to prep for the role -- so she has respect for the craft.
She isn't a BAD actress, by any stretch, let's just hope that it turns out to (whenever it may be) to be something of quality that employs a lot of people.
Oh boy.#10
Posted: 8/13/13 at 6:18pmI just think Oprah is a sick and disturbed woman and doesn't belong on Broadway. She should stay the hell in Montecito and count her billions.

Posted: 8/13/13 at 6:32pmMan, you just have a thing against black, female talk show hosts. It's a trend.
Oh boy.#12
Posted: 8/13/13 at 6:35pmMaybe she can do something like "The Blonde In The Thunderbird"
Oh boy.#13
Posted: 8/13/13 at 6:42pmCalm down, lovebwy. Oprah has had anything but an easy life. As others have said, she is an academy award nominee and has played characters in respectable Tv series and Movies. Calling her 'Disgusting' is a bit much.

Posted: 8/13/13 at 6:48pm'Sick and disturbed' is more than a bit much.
Oh boy.#15
Posted: 8/13/13 at 6:48pmI'm curious to see how she'll do on stage. Kerry Washington seems to have a lovely voice

Posted: 8/13/13 at 7:19pmLovebwy, I canno believe you are starting your vile crap again, basically expressing the same thing here that you did with Wendy Williams. You sound like a complete raving lunatic.
Oh boy.#19

Oprah, disturbed hysteric that she is, has given over 400 million to education charities, funded 400 scholarships to Morehouse College, founded Oprah's Angel Network which has raised over 80 million (with Oprah personally covering all administrative costs), donated 12 million to the Smithsonian's museum for African American culture- not to mention her school in South Africa, and is generally considered one of the leading philanthropists of the time.
What a sick, sick woman.

Posted: 8/13/13 at 7:39pmClearly, Oprah is gunning to be in Pippin once/whenever Patina Miller leaves the show. Or maybe she wants to be the latest Elphaba or Roxie Hart. :-p

Let's not forget her book club, which has inspired millions to oh, I don't know, read a book. But I'm sure lovebwy will soon be screeching about how "that ain't Broadway, baby."
What a total fool. Lovebwy that is, not Oprah.
Oh boy.#24
