Broadway producers are the ones who sought her out to be in the show to begin with, not the other way around. It wasn't as if Wendy begged them to put her in the show. They were banging on her door to make that dime you speak of, love.
@lovebwy I mean, she's not leaving anytime soon (well until August), so why complain? It's not like she's going to be fired and replaced immediately by the producers and a new Mama will take the stage on Tuesday...
This whole Wendy Williams thing is really ticking some people off, isn't it? Like others have said, it's not like this is the first time a show has ever stunt cast and it won't be the last.
If you don't like her or you want to see her in it, don't go see the show. Seems simple enough to me.

Exactly. What's the big deal? I'd be more worried that the show is in sloppy shape after all these years than in the usual Weissler stunt casting. They will cast a singing can of soup if they think it will sell a ticket.
It would appear Broadway very much goes in for that sort of thing considering its long history of high-profile replacements (some with stage experience, some not) going all the way to the golden age.
Cool it with the personality changes for the evening, Miss Lawson.

Lovebway, you have once again proved yourself to be a shrill, screeching, ranting lunatic, BABY. But at least every thread you are on is entertaining because it never ceases to amaze what a dumb-ass you are, over and over and over and over and over and over again. Keep up the good work.
