Looks like who ever decided to add Fantasia to the Color Purple roster was thinking the right thing. Ever since it was announced that she was playing Celie, ticket sales have been through the roof.
The Color Purple Musical on Broadway spiked tickets sales a staggering two-million dollars. The show had experienced some rough weeks at the box office this winter, but once the news hit that Fantasia was joining the cast beginning April 10th, the show’s advance rose by $2 million, according to producer Scott Sanders. And the majority of that — about $1.5 million — came after Fantasia’s appearance on “Oprah.” Her presence in the musical even attracted younger tickets buyers.

Damn.. I think I can park my cadillac in this chicks mouth…
I think Fan looks the part, and she probably can relate to the struggle of Celie. I don’t think Michelle got the juice to play Shug. Yep, JHud would make a good Sophia…
23. Such Magnificence, I just happen to have an extra ticket, if, you know, you want to join me and see the play! It would be strictly a fun date…no strings attached! Oh, will you be bring your 4 children? If so, I can see about getting extra tickets!
TODAY OPRAH… TOMMORROW THE “WORLD” OPRAH IS A TRUE MASTERMIND AND THATS WHY SHES A BILLIONAIRE.

I am so happy for Fantasia she really deserves it. She is so humble and that’s what I like. I dont think they should add Jennifer Hudson because it’s Fantasia’s time. So let her do her thing on her own.
