Oh my! She doesn't stop the show and eat snacks, does she?

I saw Darlene Love play the gym teacher in Carrie. She was very good.

Here is the Richard Ridge BWW interview with Wendy Williams. She seems like a nice person and generally eager to please.

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

"It takes only a few seconds to scan through these posts and see who has posted.. so your point?"
is mind your own business.
Anyway, re Darlene Love. She can still outsing anyone we've mentioned. If you're a little young to be familiar with her, go see the film 20 feet from stardom. It's wonderful!

I just had a thought: Mary Wilson? (formerly of the Supremes)

Why not try for Diana Ross. She's always looking for a new challenge!!

I dont' think Miss Ross would be a good choice. Her voice is too thin.

Darlene's vocals are really powerful and she has plenty energy. She nailed I Know Where I've Been at the Bowl in Hairspray- took me right back to when she played Motormouth on Broadway.

Diana Ross!? Are you fucing kidding me. You have quite terrible taste. She would whisper all the songs.
I think they should get Martin Lawrence as Big Mama to play Mama Morton. He could truly make the role groundbreaking.

As long as they keep the supremely untalented Lady Gaga away from Broadway I'll be happy.

There are many reasons I lie about my age (27, but looks/reads younger) in the real world. Miscreants like the obviously under-25 posters on this board...make up about 5 of those reasons.
Back on topic, I love Wendy. She'll improve and she seems like she's really enjoying herself.
The Broadway community is a COMMUNITY, NOT a clique. It's not your high school haven to prove you're better than the people who made you feel less than what you are. Get it together, kids.

Darlene's been singing since the '60's, when she was part of a girl group called the Blossoms. She also sang background for dozens of pop artists of the time. Phil Spector discovered her strong voice and used her in much of his wall of sound projects. She also sang with the Crystals, another girl group of the 60's.
Fifty years later she's still belting them out.

Darlene Love is also an Inductee in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Don't forget that from her résumé, it took her a long and winding road to get in!
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

Holy crap, this thread is 12 pages long now?!??
Just let lovebwy get his precious little last word already. He's clearly never going to stop expressing the same thought over and over until he gets the very last word on the subject, because he's made it clear that his opinion is not just opinion---it is absolute fact that cannot be disputed.

Or we could call him/her a whambulance and call it a day.

Can we just start a Darlene Love Appreciation Thread already? The woman can SING circles around just about anyone on Broadway right now.. at a very young looking 71 (black don't crack!). I bought tickets to her very last show in HAIRSPRAY and it was worth every penny and then some. She (as expected) blew the roof off the Neil Simon with her final rendition of "I Know Where I've Been" (complete with a soul-filled "GOODBYE EVERY-BODY" right before the last note). Gives me chills just thinking about it. The woman is a true gift.

It's one thing not to like her, but to outright say she's untalented is just... bitch you stupid. You rull stupid.
