- Summary
- The multi-faceted performer LaChanze discusses her career with Newsday critic Linda Winer. LaChanze speaks about the development of her Tony-winning role as Celie in the musical The color purple, based on the novel by Alice Walker. LaChanze expounds on the show's success, and its popularity with African American audiences; her early love of the musical theater; breaking into Broadway performing the musical revue Uptown. . .it's hot!; her role as Ti Moune in the musical revue Once on this island, which addressed the issue of race within the African diaspora; changing her name to LaChanze, which means "one who is charmed"; the personal tragedy she was able to overcome, in part, via her work in the theater; and what she perceives as a dearth of contemporary stage roles for African American actresses.
