I think this could be a HUGE break for her when it transfers to Broadway. Thoughts?

Excellent casting. No idea if the show will be any good so I wouldn't go counting Broadway chickens yet.

Great news! She's wonderful. I remember seeing her as Lorell in Dreamgirls back in 2010 in San Francisco, and even then she was a stand-out. Then when she came back to town in Bring it On, in a larger role, I realized just how great she is. Also, I keep forgetting about her unexpected - yet well-deserved - Tony nomination for Shuffle Along! 

I kept hoping she would go in as a replacement for the Leading Player in Pippin. Should would have been excellent.

Her and Montego Glover lost first replacement to Ciara Renee. It was down to three of them.

At any rate, I love her work and this is fantastic casting. I hope that she goes into Hamilton one day as Angelica, but she may not be interested in replacing.
