I have to make a point to see this. I missed it that the last time it was here.

Have you ever seen a show at the Arie Crown? It is not a pleasant experience.

I have not. I've actually never even heard of it.

Honestly, The Color Purple wasn't much of a pleasant experience, either.

And here I thought I was the only one who didn't care for The Color Purple (honestly).

The Arie Crown is H-U-G-E at well over 4,000 seats.

I said Arie Crown is awful and it is. I said the check was in the mail and it was. I said I wouldn't c... well, you really can't blame me for that. That was as much your fault as mine.

Booking Sweaty 'Tasia for more shows? I hope the producers bought extra insurance. She is out more than she is in!

As soon as I saw this, my first thought was:

"Aaaaand... Cue the sweaty picture!"

Well a sweaty 'Tasia is better than no 'Tasia no?

How about Boston? I'll be seeing the tour up there and would love to get her.

When will they just announce that she's joining as a full run?

Guess her welfare checks ran out so she is going to screech-sing on stage again.

Wow that was rude and uncalled for! She's actually going back to help promote her new album! Not to mention they pay her pretty damn well to come into "TCP" beacause she brings in money. Im sure her paycheck would make you look as though your the one on welfare my dear! I am happy she is coming back! She brings something to the role of "Celie" that none of the other girls can touch!

UHM, YES. I love this show and I love me some 'Tasia. I have no idea how her performance is going to compare to Jeanette Bayardelle's but I'm pretty excited.

I know, right?

Bayardelle was leagues better than Fantasia. And LaChanze was much better than Bayardelle.

I thought Fantasia was miles, miles better than LaChanze.

I went in thinking I would hate Fantasia, but she won me over. A wonderful performance.
