Posted: 11/7/04 at 8:28pmWasn't there talk awhile back about Oprah being on Broadway in the near future? What role do you think would suite her best?

Posted: 11/7/04 at 8:31pmThis is a pointless post. Of course people are going to say ever big black woman in every show that has a big black woman ever. Who knows if she can even sing.

Posted: 11/7/04 at 8:34pmmunk, must we be so negative? There is more to Broadway than singing. Broadway_freak simply asked a question, no need to be nasty

Posted: 11/7/04 at 8:37pmI'm sure she would be great in some plays. She was very good in that movie she was in (the title escapes me at the moment...)

Yah definitely - she was AMAZING in The Color Purple, she's a brilliant actress. I would have loved to see her as Steevie in THE GOAT. I don't think she'll ever make her way to Broadway anytime soon though...
And to everyone above,
thank you, I appreciate you telling me what's necessary and what's not. But it's really unnecessary - dont make a habit of telling people what to do it's really, TRULY obnoxious.

Posted: 11/7/04 at 8:45pmBut you don't really have to be rude to everyone.. even if the post is stupid you don't have to comment.

Posted: 11/7/04 at 8:45pmI didn't say it was stupid. And I wasn't talking to you. Mind you're own business, douche. I enjoy being rude.

Posted: 11/7/04 at 9:20pmAre you encouraging animal cruelty? I don't think that's funny - even if you were joking.

Posted: 11/8/04 at 12:41amI was being sarcastic - obviously she wasn't serious. However, I would love to see Oprah be Stevie from THE GOAT

Reality speaking... Isn't The Color Purple coming to a Broadway playhouse near you?? (alias NYC)
I think I would like to see her act again. She's talented, if not maybe as an actress, then she should at least be acknowledged in all her other achievements.

Posted: 11/8/04 at 1:02amYou said that she's talented, if maybe not as an actress...etc. What the **** does that mean? OBVIOUSLY, she's an amazing actress - her peformance in TCP is among the greatest I have ever seen. Was that really the point? How old are you?

Then what exactly is YOUR point? I was merely defending the prospect of seeing Oprah perform live on a Broadway stage. And then pointing out that even if you don't see her as a talented actress (which it seemed like you didn't) that she has many other talents that could extend into the theatrical world.
I'm 20... does it matter??
#19re: Oprah on Broadway
Posted: 11/8/04 at 1:09amWell I already said earlier in the post that I think she's amazing...and if she couldn't act what else could extend in to theatre...as you say? You're 20, yet you type very unclearly. I'm not getting into this tonight.

Posted: 11/8/04 at 1:14amI really don't understand how I type unclearly... and I've seen people on this board who are much less articulate then I am. WTF is your problem with this?! seriously... whatever... I'm also saying that she would make a great producer as well, and she probably has other hidden talents. I don't know them, but I'm sure they exist... she's amazing

Posted: 11/8/04 at 1:15amToo bad you guys strayed off subject. Oprah is a great personality and a good actress. She was fabulous in the Color Purple and received an Oscar nomination for her performance. She was good in Beloved also, but the movie as a whole was not that great. I don't see her having time to do a show, though, with her talk show consuming all her time...but she'd probably be very good..
#22re: Oprah on Broadway
Posted: 11/8/04 at 1:16amI wonder if she ever would produce a show. That would be hot. The initial message you typed was really really unclear, that's all.
