My thinking was that they could save money by combining photo shoots for the two stars, however BWW is reporting that Lucie will join the Broadway company."
Agreed. It seems that people forget that these marketing campaigns are primarily for tourists who don't know the faces on posters, not for us insiders. Clearl
Would anyone happen to know where one might find the filmed London production of Merrily We Roll Along? It's no longer available on Digital Theatre. I saw it in cinemas and adored it, and I'd love to see it again paired with the Lonny Price documentary.
"I mean, it's not like WONDERLAND is the vehicle for one to show off her optimal range..."
Sure, that's fair. I've seen her in several shows as well, and have always been far more impressed with her vocals than anything else. Wonderland was just the worst performance I've seen from her. That show was a travesty on its own, but the majority of the cast gave great performances despite the lack of quality material.
Is anyone else consistently underwhelmed by Kate Shindle's acting? The voice is stellar, yes. But the acting choices...? I just can't seem to forget her dreadful pseudo-psychotic performance in Wonderland.

That "Jennifer Hudson makes her Broadway debut..." has always been there as the first line in the show's description. I guess she's never read The Color Purple website. Or anything from the show's marketing department in the history of ever."
It's interesting that people think she's mad. It seems to me like she knew exactly what was going on the whole time. The producers wanted a "name" and she wanted to perform on Broadway. Sounds like a deal to me. She obviously was not too concerned with the Tony Awards, considering that her contract was negotiated to end before June.
