She was actually in talks to be Dorthy in a TV movie version of The Wiz a few years ago but those plans fell through. She would be perfect

joeyjoe and I saw Caroline or Change last night and I kept thinking what a wonderful Dorothy Anika would make. She has an amazing range and can certainly play a teenager with ease, no matter what people want to guess her real age to be. I vote for her as the new Dot in The Wiz.
PS = Caroline or Change is one of the best things I've ever seen, possums...don't miss it.

"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

A website had something about this...

YOU WON A TONY!...NOW WHAT?
Best Featured Actress in a Musical
Anika Noni Rose, Caroline, or Change
Rose is the veteran of numerous readings and workshops, having recently starred in the high-profile workshop of The Color Purple. That pre-Broadway musical is set to premiere in Atlanta this fall, but only time will tell if Rose will appear in it. At one point the young star was set to play Dorothy in the proposed ABC remake of The Wiz, so we're thinking she'd be perfect for the upcoming Broadway revival of the show. A website can dream, no?

There are plenty of very beautiful and talented African American girls that are right for the role of Dorothy, that *are* the appropriate age. Let's not do *this* again. Also, the ABC movie that fell through, was a long time ago. Around the time that Rose was in Footloose (somehow, this fact keeps getting overlooked as if to say Caroline was some sort of debut). There were many musical theater favorites being considered for various roles in the film, such as Sherie Scott,current board obsession Idina Menzel,Marcy Harriel,Lillias White, Orfeh, B.J. Crosby, Billy Porter, etc... I wouldn't put any of *them* in a Broadway revival either.

very well stated Al.

I too get frustrated when people act like Anika is an overnight senation that just came from nowhere. She was one of the highlights of the Broadway production of Footloose -- she was the second 'Rusty'.

Al's response was good, but I think ItSucks2BAveQ's was eloquent and well-said.

ItSucks2BAveQ is always eloquent. I don't think this should be too surprising.
