  • LL Cool J to Heat Up Tin Roof Revival? | Today's News: Our Take | 4/25/2007
    An all-black revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is still headed for the Great White Way, despite a number of setbacks. When behind-the-scenes catfighting prompted the departure of some key players a few weeks back, the show looked like it had run out of lives. But the New York Post's Page Six now reports that first-time producer Stephen Byrd has lined up a new director, Fame's Debbie Allen, and is in talks with the likes of Dreamgirl Anika Noni Rose, Oscar-winner Louis Gossett Jr. and Tony-winner Phylicia Rashad (Allen's real-life sis) to star. Byrd is also hoping to snag hip-hop hunk LL Cool J for the pivotal role of Brick, a character who spends much of the play solely in pajama bottoms. (I am buying my tickets now.) Although Cat has yet to book a theater or opening date, the Tony Awards have: the kudofest will be broadcast live from Radio City Music Hall (and watched by tragically few) on Sunday, June 10, on CBS. — Reporting by Raven Snook read more
  • Dreamgirl Turns Into a Princess | Today's News: Our Take | 4/20/2007
    Tony-winner Anika Noni Rose — a.k.a. the Dreamgirl who doesn't have a Grammy or an Oscar or a million-plus Google hits — will voice the title character in Disney's upcoming hand-drawn animated feature The Frog Princess, according to Playbill.com. Set in New Orleans in the '20s, the film is a FEMA female take on the classic Grimm Brothers fairy tale with Rose playing Disney's first-ever African-American heroine — although she'll spend most of her time complaining that it's not easy being green. —Raven Snook read more

  • There is a movie called ... | Movie News | 3/23/2006
    Question: There is a movie called "Dream Girls" that's either supposed to come out in theaters or air on TV — I can't remember when. The cast includes Eddie Murphy, Beyoncé Knowles and some girl from American Idol. Can you please let me know the 411? Thanks.Answer: Dreamgirls is a feature-film adaptation of the late theater director Michael Bennett's 1981 Broadway musical chronicling the rise of the Dreamettes (later simply the Dreams), a 1960s singing trio who bear no small resemblance to the real-life Supremes. The original cast included Jennifer Holliday (the show's breakout star) as Effie, the full-figured belter who gets squeezed out in the group's bid for crossover success; read more
