I just heard the Reva Rice is now the u/s for Shug Avery in the National Tour of The Color Purple...is this true? If so has anyone seen her gone on? Also I heard the Brandi Chavonne Massey will be the u/s for Fantasia when she joins the tour.

It seems like the tour has a fantastic cast even down to it's understudys!!!!!

I saw the show this past weekend in Boston, with Brandi Chavonne Massey as Celie (a very last minute replacement, as there was no insert for her, just an announcement).

Reva Rice is listed as an understudy for Shug, along with Anika Ellis.

At the performance I saw, Kimberly Ann Harris was Sophia (very good) and Reva Rice filled in for her as the Church Lady.
