    Linda, point of correction if you please, a broadway show does not "screen", it is not a film. a broadway shows "open" or if they want to see what the critics think, they have a one to two week "preview" before the official "opening".

    @anonymous 4.02pm - they are playing LIVE, it is not a film screening of the show. i know this because i just saw one of the trumpet players Jordan at a friend's CD release party and he told me that he was heading out to Nigeria and asked for advise since he knows I am Nigerian.

    @chichiluv, I say screening because the production was filmed live at the Olivier Theatre, London and will be shown on a screen in Naija. I don't think the actors will be performing live on stage in Naija.

    thank you, gistexpress because i thought i was losing my mind here. i remember linda posting it a few weeks back and people arguing about why there weren't enough nigerians in the show etc.

    i will pose this question again since linda "forgot" to post it the last time: anonymous 4.40: are you asking me the Jordan person's last name? It's Maclean, Jordan Maclean. is that a better rephrasing ms. linda? because my last post wasn't meant to be instigate any fight o.
