    Fun fact: before this was a stage musical, it was originally almost a Disney animated movie, and then there was talk of a live action movie, with Christina Aguilera as Amneris and Beyoncé as Aida. I really REALLY would like that movie though.

      Beyonce? WTF! I'm so glad it fell through. I like Beyonce but Aida is not the role for her.

      Agreed. This is Sherie Rene Scott I believe her name was. Idina Menzel also was Amneris but her performance was nowhere near as good as this.

      I had a callback for the part of Amneris, but I didn't get it because I was quite a bit younger than everyone else. It's high school, so totally understandable! My senior year I did have to pleasure to be the lead female role of Nina Rosario for In The Heights ☺️
