Rags.
That score deserves a far better production than the original one.

Posted: 6/23/07 at 7:28pmA "Purlie" revival with Anika Noni Rose as Lutibelle would be heaven.

Purlie was DOA at Encores! ... with Anika Noni Rose as Lutiebelle. Not her fault though. That show needs to be played to the hilt, and the Encores! production was very muted and tame.

I was unaware that Anika had played the role before Smaxie.
How was her "I Got Love"?

She sang it effortlessly, and sounded great. It didn't have the crazy abandon and ebullience of Melba Moore's version, but she did well with it. I seem to recall that "He Can Do It" was the number that really brought down the house at Encores.
EDIT: Found this review of the Encores Purlie from Ken Mandelbaum, archived on the Broadway.com site, which really outlines the problems of that particular production.

Albert of course. 
""They're Playing Our Song" with Rosie O'Donnell and Nathan Lane."
HA! I would like to see a revival of the show.

Isn't the rumor that Anika Noni Rose is going to star in the PORGY & BESS revival or is it just a rumor?
I would love to see her as Deena in a DREAMGIRLS revival or just about anyone in any role to be honest.
