GREAT CASTING! Morgan James, Saycon Sengbloh and other great performers!

SO EXCITED for this!!!

If Morgan James is on it does it make this an automatic flop? Is she quickly becoming the Ted McGinley of Broadway?

I hope David Korins does a better set design for this than he did for Annie.

I still think I will have to pass on this entirely. It just doesn't pique my interest.

morgan james has been in the ENS of 3 broadway musicals. WHY is her name on the headline for the casting of motown when she is in the ens of this one? has any other broadway ensemble member been more publicized than this person?
what is going on!?!

1) She has a really good publicist?

2) She's "name" because of the drama she creates?

Didn't Ted McGinley spend 8 seasons on "Married with Children"? I wouldn't call that a flop. I have a feeling he is basking by his pool with a solid gold letter opener to remove his residual checks from their envelopes.

Morgan, honey, you're white. Get over it. Shoshana tried, and look at what it did to her voice. Quit trippin'.

Morgan is signed to show producer Sony Music Entertainment. She's been promoting her recently released debut album (Morgan James Live at Club Coca-Cola: A Tribute to Nina Simone*) and the show since last week. I'm guessing she was "discovered" by Gordy.


*But for why is the title so long?

If the preview performance that I attended at the Nedelander is any indication, this show is going to be pretty good and a hit. Or at least a hit with audiences if not critics.

What a stacked cast! Saw Charl Brown go on for TJ in Sister Act and could tell he had more star power than that role allowed for, and he already made it hilarious and had a great voice. Smart of them to use so many Memphis alums as they truly made up a terrific cast. Does Grasan Kingsberry have time to breathe? I've never seen him out of work! Great for him.

I think I already saw this show at Six Flags in 1989.
