That's Mindy Paige Davis Page if you used to read the Trading Spaces recaps on TWOP.

Just close the show already! Seriously! The stunt casting is getting so ridiculous! (As if it hasn't been already)

I missed an earlier question here. Christie Brinkley made Melanie Griffith seem like Gwen freekin' Verdon!

I can't say it enough. I'm sure Christie Brinkley is a nice person but she had NO business, and I mean NO business up on that stage. As angry as I was to have paid to see her, more than anything else I felt sorry for her. The producers are out of their MINDS letting her go up there.

10 bucks Wendy does not go on. She has delayed her start of performances.

Joviedamian is never ever right about anything, so anyone looking for a quick ten bucks should take that bet.

Wendy has had an inflamed throat/nose and a cough for the past week and a half. She had a noticeable cold about two weeks ago and that combined with doing her show four days a week and with vocal preparations has resulted in a severe sinus infection. It would seem to most that a three day delay is not unreasonable.

I know shade throwing is second nature to you ladies, but there are so many more deserving of such. Also, many underestimate the influence of this woman. There will be people who have never seen a Broadway show going to Chicago - someone has to - and perhaps they will become fans of live theater. Anything that increases the public awareness of Broadway is fine with me - even, God help me - Smash or over bloated awards shows.

Yeah I'd love to see the crowd SHE attracts. You likely won't be able to hear a thing due to the sound of Cheetos wrappers crinkling.

I can't tell if that's classist or racist or a sour cocktail.

Can we compromise on all three? Also, love the Zoidberg signature. For some reason, I didn't expect other Futurama fans here.

Madam better be prepared to be judged, since she is doing alot of that lately. Her ass is wide enough to put a projection on it so it might be fun to see if they do something like that..please what in the world could she bring to this role except an less-than-professional performance.

WHAT A HOT MESS! I mean hey I get it. She will get booties in the seats but I mean come on. There is some actor out there dying to play this role who has trained for years and has the chops. SMH

There is nothing in the world better than Live Theater.

I'm more worried about the open flames from all those Slim Jims her fans will be crackling in the theater.

@ g.d.e.l.g.i.

I agree, all three. I can't take anyone with such slavish, paranoid devotion to maintaining their crazy, seriously :)

Glad you liked the signature - I'm a man of varied tastes - hence the Wendy Williams postings.

"I'm more worried about the open flames from all those Slim Jims her fans will be crackling in the theater"

Didn't Clifton Webb say the same thing about Ethel Waters?

Anyone go?

I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

?@kavin_b 39m
@ElderPoptart I DID!!!!! Sad to say though but she was... Not good lol. But I didn't care tbh. I was just happy to see her do her thing haha

?@kavin_b 31m
I don't even care that Wendy was bad. I'm so happy I got to see my queen make her Broadway debut! And she seemed really happy to be there.??

@kavin_b 29m
@ngarcia_7 she doesn't have the voice or the presence for the role of Big Mama. But I am such a fan of hers that I didn't care lol.Love her!

She certainly has the physical presence for the role



But maybe she's just not totally comfortable on the stage yet.

Didn't you hear? Martin Lawrence is stepping in to play the role after Wendy.
