| If I recall correctly -- and others may remember this in more detail -- after Aida, Headley expressed little interest in Broadway, choosing instead to focus on a recording career. | |

| Headley was pretty clear that she wanted to be a recording artist. She won the Tony for Aida in 2000 and did the Actors Fund Dreamgirls benefit in 2001. Her first album came out in 2002. Aside from appearing as a singer in a movie in 2004, I don't think she did any acting, whether on stage or in film, again until 2012 when she was in The Bodyguard in London. She had some success as a recording artist, but never had that big hit. But she was nominated for the Grammy for Best New Artist and her first 2 albums went gold. |

| A few years ago, Headley did a one-night-only show at American Songbook, which was absolutely terrific!!! She talked a lot about being at home in Chicago. Erivo did a Live From Lincoln Center show a year or two ago, which was dull, dull, dull. Every song sounded the same and she stood in one spot all evening. J J |

| I remember the Erivo concert. It was certainly not exciting. Some of the song choices were good. But, it did all sound the same. | |
