I read and saw a production of this for a college class. Brown is the perfect choice for this material, as much of her prior work zeroes in on "the cultural narrative of African-American identity." I cannot wait to hear/see what Brown does with Shange's work.

Just for the sake of "continuity" it's worth mentioning that there was a recent thread about this https://forum.broadwayworld.com/readmessage.php?thread=1125658#

In which we discussed the strange and unconventional nature of Leah Gardiner's departure.

And once again, the "rumor" that troynow shared on this board over a year ago has proven to be true. 

Congrats to Brown though! She is a great talent!
