Kandi Burruss is headed to Broadway!
The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and reality star is set to take on the role of “Mama” in the longest-running American musical beginning Jan. 15.
Kandi will spend eight weeks on the stage during the limited run at NYC’s Ambassador Theater after she wraps her sold-out tour with Xscape. We’re thinking she will kill the role that has also been portrayed by Queen Latifah in the 2002 film adaptation.
The production currently stars Tony Award nominee Charlotte d’Amboise as Roxie Hart, Olivier Award Winner & Original Cast Member Leigh Zimmerman as Velma Kelly, YouTube sensation and Broadway star Todrick Hall, Raymond Bokhour as Amos Hart, and R. Lowe as Mary Sunshine.
