And the good news keep on rolling in. The Hollywood Reporter revealed today that Grammy-winning recording artist India.Arie will be trying her hand at Broadway, starring in the first-ever revival of the classic Ntozake Shange "choreopoem" For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow Is Enuf. The play, which will be produced by Whoopi Goldberg in association with Dream Team Entertainment, presents the stories of seven women of color from the African Diaspora, which should be right up India's alley.
Helping Arie with her moves will be legendary choreographer Hinton Battle, with Shirley Jo Finney slated to direct. The play begins previews in mid-July, with an early-August opening. Needless to say, we'll reserve judgment until the curtain rises. However, based on her limited acting resume to date, we're thinking India should use her prep time wisely.
