J.H will be starring in a staging of the musical at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre.

A seemingly bitter Jennifer has been rather vocal about her lack of involvement and input she has had in the recent film adaptation and promotional buildup to its release.

The revival of the Henry Krieger-Tom Eyen musical at Atlanta’s Theater of the Stars (TOTS), from July 19 through 29, will be produced in association with this year’s National Black Arts Festival this summer.
