Rumor has it the upcoming season of RHOA could be the last for NeNe Leakes, but the reality star has been seeing plenty of success lately with her new fashion line and now it’s been confirmed that she has yet another big opportunity lined up.
Hours ago, NeNe tweeted a link which confirms she will make her official debut to Broadway.
Broadway Buzz writes:
The production also announces that NeNe Leakes (The Real Housewives of Atlanta) will be the newest star to join the cast, starting November 25, when she steps into the role of Cinderella’s wicked stepmother Madame. Leakes will succeed Sherri Shepherd, who will perform the role September 9 through November 22.
The cast of Cinderella currently includes Paige Faure as Cinderella, Joe Carroll as Prince Topher, Nancy Opel as Madame, Victoria Clark as the Fairy Godmother, Ann Harada as stepsister Charlotte, Stephanie Gibson as stepsister Gabrielle, Peter Bartlett as Sebastian, Prince Topher’s mentor and Lord Chancellor, Todd Buonopane as the rebel Jean-Michel and Phumzile Sojola as Lord Pinkleton.
Congrats to NeNe.
When will Kenya?
Uh oh lol!
Kenya is not focused anymore. She’s letting RHOA distract her from her original plan of letting it help her get back into acting. I want her to get back on track ASAP before she’s stuck doing reality shows.
Mrs. NeNe Leakes is the badest b-tch Iever saw, and beautiful Thank You for keeping it REAL
Well damn. NeNe is a true hustler.
She is. I respect that about her.
Good for her.
That role is perfect for her. Get those coins boo.
I agree, she got the perfect role, she definitely can play a wicked step mother well.
The hell? How is Nene getting better acting opportunities than Kenya and Kenya is the better actress?
TBH Kenya isn’t that great of an actress and neither is NeNe. But the difference between them is Kenya is more focused on being a reality star and RHOA queen, NeNe has done that already and she realizes it’s smarter to get more coins in a more legitimate way. A lot of people can’t stand NeNe but she will make out better than most of the ladies on the show when it’s all said and done (except Kandi).
Hmmmm I can agree with this. I do want Kenya to get on her grind a lot more. RHOA is going good for her, but she needs to get more things going.
Get it Nene! Hmmm! Notice how some folks are making big moves, while Kenya has yet to book an acting gig, still had no shows in production (she owns a company, ya know), and still no hair line…oh wait, that was Porscha’s idea she was trying to steal.
Kenya stays on the train to Loserville!!!!
Well if you play dirty… lol Kenya is the dirtiest bird , rumor has it she’s dating Kordell. I definitely wouldn’t put it past her. In the meantime the reigning Queen of RHOA is doing bigger and better things!
That’s a lie. She’s not dating kordell, and even if she was, thats her business. Porsha is not a friend of hers.
But if the shoe was on the other foot and Porsha was dating Kenya’s ex, y’all would be raising a ruckus. You Kenya stans are just as hypocritical as she is. That’s why she can never win at life.
Leave kenya alone. When the opportunity comes she will take it. Nene wants to leave the housewive of Atlanta one day. She’s creating a platform for success. She’s making a name for herself. Kenya time will come trust me on that. Nene was not a success over time, it took her alot of time to get there.
Nene has been RHOA since the show premiered, Kenya is coming in on the tail end hoping to have the same noteriety, and to reap the same success. That won’t work because Kenya does not have the same personality as Nene. Love her or not, Nene is charming when she wants/needs to be…Kenya is too polarising, and has rubbed many the wrong way. She is just not likable. Many of the platforms Nene has been given will never be offered to Kenya.
Nene is also headed out of the game at the right time – on top!
Kenya time will come, just wait! Nene was not a success over night.
true.
Say what you want about Nene but she is always working on something.
Hmmm! All the women have made big moves except Kenya. She has no acting gigs lined up, no shows in production (she owns her own company y’all), and no hair line, even though she tried to steal that idea from Porsha. I swear, Kenya stays on that train to Loserville!!!
I’m happy for her. She has a dream to act and she’s making it happen. Being on Broadway is a huge deal.
Nice.
NeNe’s agent must be really good.
NeNe is serious about her money!
Nene is smart. She actually remembers what the point behind reality shows are. Exposure that creates even better opportunities. Nowadays these reality stars are just happy to get the pennies the network gives them. They can’t see beyond being on a reality show. But Nene gets it.
Bish is many things, but she damn sure ain’t lazy.
get money bish
Oh snap congrats!!!!
yassss
Congrats NeNe, Love ya and wish you much success!!
