Time To Hit Broadway

India Aire is preparing to take on the big stage:

“Neo-soul frontwoman India.Arie is set to make her Broadway debut this August in the upcoming revival of Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf, produced by Whoopi Goldberg. The production begins September 8 at New York City’s Circle in the Square Theater. The Grammy-winning singer/songwriter will open the play, which is an updated reprisal of the 1976 off-Broadway hit.

Also hitting the Big White Way for the first time is Danity Kane’s Aubrey O’Day. According to People.com, the singer will take on the role of Amber Von Tussle, the stuck-up arch-nemesis of Tracy Turnblad, in Hairspray starting July 18 at the Neil Simon Theatre.”
