After Lady Day finishes, what do you think Audra should do next in her career?

Porn. Or another musical. Or a play.

In her interview with Paul Wontorek, he asked her about whether 'night Mother is going to happen, and Audra said "no comment" in a very smiley, "wink-wink, nudge-nudge" kind of way (at least that's how I saw it). I'd guess that that's what is up next for her.

I hope that Adam Guettel or Jason Robert Brown (or somebody else talented) writes a new and startlingly original role especially for her, one that allows all her considerable talents to shine as brightly as possible.

I really hope she doesn't have to resort to anything less than she deserves.

Will and should are different things. I'd love to see her in a new piece, but she just blows my mind in revivals. Writing a new part for Audra would not be easy I imagine, despite the ease she shows in things.

I'm willing to bet it'll be good, regardless.

The movie The Help should be adapted into a musical for Audra to star in!

She should also star in a revival of Carmen Jones! Updated On: 9/9/14 at 05:11 PM

I know I've said this before, but with all the live theatrical events coming to TV, I would love to see Audra play the role of Amahl's Mother in AMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS for TV. It would probably win her an Emmy.

Have there been any hints that Lady Day will be made into a movie?

Why does everyone forget that Audra was written a role by own of the best new composers? Michael John LaChiusa wrote the incredible Marie Christine for her, with a score that she vocally soars through. I thoroughly recommend the recording to any Audra (or theatre) fan. It's inventive, dark, and intoxicating. (The tragedy of the 2000 Tony Awards was both LaChiusa's Wild Party AND Marie Christine losing to the mediocre Aida).

Yes, THE WILD PARTY losing was a tragedy, but MARIE CHRISTINE not so much. Audra also originated the role of Kesa in SEE WHAT I WANNA SEE.

Anything regarding shows stated by this account is an attempt to convey opinion and not fact.

Well she can forget about the Broadway League dimming the lights for her when she leaves this Earth.

I know it's a stretch, but I'd love to see her and Swenson do "Bridges" somewhere.

Wasn't Audra doing a reading of KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN? Or was that just someone's hopeful thinking?

I think she'd be fatastic as Mama Rose opposite Anika Noni Rose as Louise. It doesn't need to be an all-black GYPSY but the two of them would be phenomenal.

And interesting casting, as Anika Noni Rose is only two years younger than Audra.
