Fantasia Readies Return To Broadway In Jazz-Inspired Musical

Published: Thursday 18th Jul 2013 by Rashad

‘Lose To Win’ wailer Fantasia undoubtedly won over Broadway fans with her critically acclaimed stint on ‘The Color Purple’ in 2007, but now it seems the Grammy winning soulstress is ready for a redo.

Indeed, still gleaming in the success of her fourth R&B chart topper ‘Side Effects Of You’, Fannie has signed on to star in Jack Viertel’s ‘After Midnight’ – a new Jazz-inspired musical set to showcase the work of Duke Ellington’s years at Harlem’s Cotton Club.

    Well she was good on The Color Purple so I’m not going to drag.

    • ATM JAM July 19, 2013

      The nerve of you to think you can drag when your favs bottom lip resembles that of a wedding dress train. take that sleep inducing s***( lana’s elevator music soundtrack “born to bore you to death) somewhere like a insomnia camp or soemthing.

        How did I expect this basic stalking ass Azealia Bankrupt stan who eats my c*** at every opportunity to reply to a simple post about Fantasia? No one mentioned Lana though. Let’s discuss Azealia’s broke ass instead. I see you’re trying to come for Born To SLAY. Where is Azealia’s album sis? Did it get pushed back another 13 years or so?
        Dead @ Young & Beautiful outselling her discography.
        212 UK Sales: 118k
        212 US Sales: 21k
        Yung Rapunxel
        UK 152
        LMAO @ Young Lizard only charting in one country AND missing the top 150 completely. Dead at 212 only selling 21k with multiple performances and television/movie promo in the US alone. Summertime Sadness sold at LEAST twice as much this week alone with just the US. The ultimate kii.

        Not to mention Yung L.izard coming for Lily Allen’s children, calling them ugly in her 48292th Twitter feud the other day and Lily literally SNATCHING her ratchet ass matted up Rainbow Brite deluxe weave. The lowest of scum.

        @ROSIE Lmao you sound pressed and angry, im sitting over here laughing so hard. Azealia hasn’t had nowhere near the promo lana and her team have been whoring out for. Born to die is always on the iTunes paid promoted advertisement and still hasn’t gone gold yet.

        summertime sadness continues to fall hour by hour suspected since you can’t get through the entire song without dozing off. also not gold.

        young & beautiful was promoted very heavily constantly being played on the great gatsby commercial.

        the rest of A***’s flop singles include Ride, Blue Jeans, Video Games, Born To Botox, etc all of which flopped and FAILED to chart in the UK & The US even after heavy promo on TV talks hows with very high viewer ratings.

        she even had a spot on saturday Night Live which did more harm than good to her career because she sounded like a horse giving birth to a two headed pony. the show had the lowest rating when she appeared and she was heavily criticized for her lack of TALENT.

        In the Uk azealia already as a platinum record, something your fav lacks in that country. comeback when lana’s drunk ass gets invited to different festivals to perform and not small run-down bars and gas stations.
