I actually think she could be a lot of fun. I appreciate that she's doing a 12-week run. Seems longer than most of the stars that pop in and out.

Not to mention playing Roxie which must be a lot more rehearsal time than just playing Mama. 

Speaking of, if they could get Luann as Mama during Erika's run...

I ? want to see this. She’s so great and a true performer. She’s gonna rock!!!

First casting decision in the last 5 years where I am actually interested in seeing the show.  So nice that it's the role of Roxie rather than Mama Morton. 

I actually think she will be good and will sell tickets.

Totally agreed LOL. I’ve lived here 6 years, been visiting longer, and this is the first time I’m considering buying tickets for the Ambassador (the Majestic is another story).

Oh hush, she's a pop singer with enough talent. She'll be loads of fun.

Her being paired with AFW!! Not even free tickets would get me in there.

It'll sell tickets, sure... And bring in a whole ****-show of an audience with it.

I predict she'll be a steaming hot mess.  She doesn't sing live (well, as a 'pop star' and the majority of her dancing is sticking out her ass and grinding.

I'd be curious to see how much they cut down the choreo for her.

Pat the puss!

There is always a limited version of the choreography available to those performers.  I call it Fosse 2.0.  If  you look at the duration of her contract (Jan. 6-- March 29, 2020), that time falls during the dreaded winter months.  If she turns out to be good, then the show has given itself a shot in the arm to handle usually dicey grosses during wintertime.

I'm definitely going to see this. Hoping I get a Velma understudy.

I'm excited about this. While she's been frustrating as a Housewife recently, she's been trying to be a performer all her life. (Unlike a certain countess dining on her sobriety.)  So I think she has the confidence to have fun with it and will really be trying.

I agree, This will be her a chance to prove that she’s the legitimate performer she’s been trying to be. I think her first season on BH they showed her vocal lessons, underneath the auto tune there’s definitely a voice that can carry a tune.

AFW?

Amra-Faye Wright.

I don’t see the dancing being dumbed down too much for her. Erika was also on Dancing with the Stars, while not amazing it wasn’t bad.

I’d bet anything that the bravo cameras are there and this will be on RHBH
