I know Anika Noni Rose hit big with Dreamgirls, Capathia Jenkins is the big black lady, and Chandra Wilson stars on the #1 show on television, but what is the rest of the cast doing?

Tonya is doing CoC in London.

Wait, Chandra Wilson was in CoC? No way. I'm suprised I never knew that. Who did she play? Maybe I'll have to buy this recording with my newfound Christmas money so I don't have to keep renting it from the library.

Right now? Tonya Pinkins and Ramona Keller at least are still doing 'Caroline, Or Change', but at the National Theatre in London. Fantastic show, ending 4th January. Who knows what they'll be up to next though?

Aisha DeHaas is understudying Capathia Jenkins.

Miss Chandra played none-other than Dottie Moffett!

One of the little boys who played one of Caroline's sons was in the original cast of The Color Purple. He played Harpo as a kid. You can hear him on the cast recording.

We know what happened to Capathia Jenkins. She's a big black woman and she's stopping the show.

Aisha de Haas was in the movie version of Rent. She plays that wonerful bag lady with the mouth of a trucker. Or at least she used to have the mouth of a trucker. Damn you, Chris Columbus, with your desire for a PG-13 rating!!!!

And I forgot that David Constable will be in Translantions. I really hope some of this talented cast achieves greater success, like Anika and Chandra have.

Tonya is still playing a lawyer on "All My Children". She made an appearance a couple of weeks ago.

Tonya was also on this past week at the Christmas Party episode. I was really excited to see her!

Harrison Chad was in MAME at the Kennedy Center this past Summer and since has grown about a foot.
Very talented guy.

Kevin, who played Caroline's older son is more into dance now. His grandmother is a teacher in my school.

Chris Cooper sings "Colored Spade" on the Actor's Fund recording of Hair and his daughter, Lilli, is treading the same boards he tread in Caroline or Change in Spring Awakening.

Just a small correction - his name is Chuck Cooper. Very talented family!

Rentboy- This is probably illegal but you can just import CoC to your itunes.

Sorry! I don't know what made me do that. And they are a talented family. Lilli Cooper is one of the nicest people I've ever met.

Lili Cooper's "Dark I Know Well" is probably one of the best things SA has going for it.

And Aisha de Haas in back in RENT, covering for Frenchie Davis during her very long vacation.

Marcus Carl Franklin is currently in the movie, I'm Not There.

[MargoChanning]

And Tonya Pinkins is in the film Enchanted.

And she's hilarious in that movie.
Anika Noni Rose is following Pinkins' Disney footsteps and will be starring in the studio's next animated film, THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG. Not to mention her very funny stint in THE STARTER WIFE.
And Chandra is now a SAG winner and Emmy nominee.

Chuck Cooper was also in Being Alive for the past few months... the show conceived by Billy Porter that's a sort of Sondheim/ Shakespeare revue.

Ramona Keller went to BKLYN and then to Lone Star Love...

Adam Heller (who understudied David Costabile) is now in Make Me A Song.

Alice Playten is undoubtedly off somewhere, being awesome... That woman is amazing. Nobody steps on Kafritz!

Oh and Harrison Chad was in the recent Roundabout workshop of BYE BYE BIRDIE.
We need to see Tonya Pinkins and Anika Noni Rose in GYPSY...just throwing that out there.

lawyerman, "Dark I know Well" is one of my favorites from the show. It has a very Coldplay feel to it.

Also, David Constable had a hillarious stint on "Flight of The Conchords," as Mel's neglected husband/chaperone.
