Fantasia Extends Stay in `Color Purple'
NEW YORK (AP) -- Performing on Broadway apparently agrees with Fantasia.
The former "American Idol" alum has extended her stay in "The Color Purple," the hit musical based on Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, the show's producers announced Thursday.
Fantasia, who won raves from the critics for her performance as Celie, will appear in the musical through Jan. 6, 2008. She was originally scheduled to leave in October.
"The Color Purple," now in its second year at the Broadway Theatre, received a boost at the box office after Fantasia joined the production last April.
A second company of the musical is currently playing the Cadillac Palace Theatre in Chicago.
