‘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.

Kicking off with a “preview run” beginning October 18, fans can expect to see Fannie’s soaring alto on the Warren Carlyle-directed show’s official opening on November 3rd.
