Fantasia returns to After Midnight

NEW YORK (AP) — Sad you missed Fantasia Barrino on Broadway in After Midnight? Well, good news: She can’t stay away.

Producers of the show said Thursday that the American Idol winner will return in May to the musical celebrating Duke Ellington’s years at the Cotton Club nightclub in Harlem. She will have a four-week stint, from May 13 to June 8.

The musical’s guest vocalist sings four songs I Can’t Give You Anything But Love, Stormy Weather, On the Sunny Side of the Street and Zaz Zuh Zaz in front of a 17-piece band picked by Wynton Marsalis.

Barrino was the first vocalist, followed by k.d. lang.
