The praise for Arianda is incredibly well-deserved. She really is the next big thing.
Though I expect continued opportunities in film and television will come her way, I'm so excited to see what she does on stage in the coming years. She'd be a killer Sabina in a revival of THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH. I know she did a couple Shakespeare and Chekohov pieces at NYU, and I'd love to see her do any number of roles by either of them. Something like THE HEIDI CHRONICLES would also be a great fit later in her career. The options are limitless!
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
