"The Gods Love Nubia" Aida, Heather Headley

[@geesaidit541]

Amazing cast! Excellent production!

[@sientalavangle2379]

She performed that like she was on a full stage not a TV studio... LOL. Amazing. Years go by and I have to seek out my lovelies again.

I saw this musical as a high school junior back in 2001. I have been in love with it ever since. It is where my obsession with Adam Pascal started (I didn’t see him in Rent until the movie). Even now, 19 years later, it is still my all time favorite musical. Everyone is hype about Hamilton, but the power of Heather Headley’s voice will always floor me. They need to make this a movie and have Heather back. Or she just needs to release more music. She is a true queen 😍

[@nicodanny2112]

Literally. She is the queen.

[@nicodanny2112]

Also did this not like drive you to tears every damn time?!

[@sabledsoe]

Me too

[@lindadesosa2168]

I just saw Adam Pascal in pretty woman. So good!

[@corycoral7072]

So this was one of the plays me and my mom would sing in the car to and from middle school as its her favorite play which isn’t hard to see why. I at the tme loved rent a little more. WELL we were in the cty and me her and my dad decided to go to a random 25 dollar broadway show called disaster on broadway, a parody jukebox musical based off 80s disaster movies. Well, the main male lead gets on stage and starts to sing and me and my mom gasp. Because without us knowing it, we had picked a random show whos main male lead was god damn ADAM PASCAL. Was insane

[@dopeblacktherapist]

These singers literally give it their all. I wish they didn’t take this off Broadway :(

[@catjordan1]

@Broadway Baby, Disney is rereleasing the musical :-D

[@welpshi]

@@catjordan1 omg are you serious!?!

[@cathyjordan3034]

@Jess Caley I wish I could say, but it's been awhile and due to Covid, who knows. The good thing is that it was pre-planned, so hopefully it will happen in a couple of years. Figures crossed!!

[@albertolorenzo7415]

I blame Adam Pascal and the other actress for the show’s failure lol

[@huntress1863]

Yup. They definitely deserved that standing ovation. Heather Headley, especially. No questions asked!

[@mj6962]

Heather is one of the most underrated singers, performers ever.

[@jessepoopoo]

Heather!!!!! Same feels. So many years later

[@emilyk6166]

When I die, I want my family to use all my savings to pay for Heather Headley to sing an Aida song at my funeral. And yes, she will still be alive because with a voice like that, I’m pretty sure she’s immortal.

[@JackieWaddyJones]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the music from the play AIDA....and my greatest pleasure came from watching my husband in a local theatre performance cast in the Father/Nubian King's role.

[@johnmcintyre1848]

She wins the Tony in the pending Tony Awards mentioned at the beginning of this

[@bellaferelli751]

Saw this as a kid. Haven’t forgotten since.

[@jlongsho]

Unsung hero is nakibia (spelling) her friend ... hitting all the whistle tones!

[@concertswithaj]

Schele Williams is the actress and she was Heather's understudy. I saw her as Aida. She's actually going to be directing the revival ! :)

[@islaedmonson-brown4230]

An amazing production Aida. I was blessed to see it twice. She was so great! At the end I always have to hold my tears back.

[@heyheyTPE]

Thank you so much for putting this masterpiece online. Love to the love to the love Aida

[@pompunpopularpodcast]

I got to see this on broadway in 2000 and it was the most wonderful thing- still the best performance I have ever seen live. I was 9 and remember this so vividly!

[@AnaLise_Uhring]

They did this at my school 5 years ago and it’s still my favorite musical

[@goddesscreations7121]

This brought me to tears

[@centerfold8]

This Kang hits different when you’re Black and think of your ancestors’ enslavement

[@isaiahvaldez3894]

The beginning, does she look alike to the actors that kidnap a old man and tied him up. When he tried to escape, she broked his leg with big hammer head. I forgot the name of the movie.

[@mypersonalstuff8456]

I believe you might be describing Kathy Bates and James Caan in “Misery.”

[@andreebogana781]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@byeolsoob]

미쳤다. .

[@centerfold8]

The one woman cut Aida of

[@eahsdramaplays1410]

I think that was the idea 😂

[@XC21ALiSoN]

That’s how it is on the album and how they did it on stage.

[@stockwellsantley7496]

Cor!

[@ReviewForReel]

The gods may love Nubia, but they despise Haiti
