Show People With Paul Wontorek

After winning a Tony Award for Caroline, Or Change in 2004, starring in Dreamgirls on the big screen with Beyoncé and Jennifer Hudson, making Disney princess history as Tiana in The Princess and the Frog and starting her own production company, ANIKA NONI ROSE is back on the New York stage. This latest role—one the performer has been pursuing for years now—truly sizzles in a simplified though still sensational John Doyle-directed production of Carmen Jones, Oscar Hammerstein II's take on Georges Bizet's grand opera Carmen. The gorgeous production has already been extended through August 19. The talent took a break from belting out the larger-than-life score at Classic Stage Company to chat about the role that got away, The Princess and the Frog, what really went on during Dreamgirls and more on Show People with Paul Wontorek.
