Apologies to your aunt, who just shattered every bone in her hand trying to dial your mother faster than humanly possible to tell her about Oprah Winfrey’s potential Broadway debut. The New York Times reports that Winfrey is in talks to appear in ’night Mother next year alongside five-time Tony winner Audra McDonald, star of Porgy and Bess and A Raisin in the Sun. We’re so glad that acting in Lee Daniel’s The Butler last year finally got Oprah back on track to get her EGOT. It is going to be quite a ride.
