Posted: 7/28/06 at 10:21pmJust thought I would bump this thread and point out John's ABC deal...it is a definite possibility he won't appear on Broadway again. I hope he does though.

Posted: 8/1/06 at 6:17pmYou never know. Most of these stars just pop up unexpectedly. Cleavant Derricks had been away from Broadway after Dreamgirls. And he came back in Brooklyn. And I know the show flopped. Ok. You don't have to get all sarcastic.

OzarkElphaba --
Holliday has been back twice on Broadway since her Tony in Dreamgirls: as Teen Angel in GREASE and as Mama Morton in CHICAGO. Apparently the Weisslers are the only producers who'll hire her these days.
She also starred in a self-penned off-Broadway musical based on Bessie Smith called DOWNHEARTED BLUES a few years back.

Posted: 8/1/06 at 6:52pmShe has a reputation going back 25 years for missing too many performances and temperamental (diva) behavior. She's burned a LOT of bridges over the years.
