Fantasia Barrino is returning to Broadway where she will be the first of a rotating roster of guest star headliners in After Midnight.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the musical revue celebrates Duke Ellington's days at Harlem's legendary Cotton Club, and will have a rotation of headliners to mimic the big names that graced the Cotton Club's stage at its peak.
Barrino previously proved to be a Broadway box office draw with the 2005 musical "The Color Purple." After the Grammy-winning singer joined the show in April 2007, the flagging production saw a 40 percent sales rise.
"After Midnight" will begin preview performances on October 18, with an official opening scheduled for November 3. Fantasia is slated to perform with the revue through February 9, 2014.
