Posted: 3/7/12 at 4:55pmI am interested to see what she will bring to the role. I've been a fan of her's for a long time.

Posted: 3/7/12 at 6:16pmShe looks fabulous! I know she can sing, but I wonder if she has the chops for a role of this caliber. All the best to her! Wish I could see her in the show!

I know, it's up there with Mama Rose and Lovett.

Posted: 3/7/12 at 7:37pmYeah. None of the caliber of Sister Act.

Posted: 3/8/12 at 1:55amI think the role is one of the most difficult on Broadway vocally. Just in "Fabulous Baby", she has to belt an A flat at one point, and then hold out an F on the final note, if I'm correct.

Not gonna lie, I think Raven-Symone is hilarious-- just maybe not always intentionally. I think she'll do a fine job in this show. She has a pleasant singing voice and is a rather adept comedian. Sister Act is pure fluff, and as long as she looks like she's having a great time onstage, everything will fall into place.

"I think the role is one of the most difficult on Broadway vocally."
At least someone on this board has an IQ over 80. Seeing as how I was talking about her singing, I did mean if she was up for it vocally.

Posted: 3/8/12 at 9:30pmBig fan of hers as well as the show, very excited to see her take on the role.

Posted: 3/8/12 at 11:23pmI wonder if they'll have to change any of the keys for her.

I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Posted: 3/12/12 at 3:19pmI'm glad people are excited about Raven doing it. I'm really happy she's going to take the role. I was worried about how the show would do when Patina left but I don't think I have to worry now. I really hope I can go see her!

Posted: 3/12/12 at 10:07pm^My hunch is that that's the plan. They'll run it through the end of the summer on Broadway, then launch the tour with Raven ("direct from Broadway") in the fall.

Why would you be concerned about Patina Miller leaving and effecting the box office? she is hardly a household name.
Now if Whoopi Goldberg left or Daniel Radcliffe or Harry Conick Jr or Ricky Martin left...
I'd understand your fears.
