RHOA cast member Kandi Burruss celebrated her latest achievement with her friends and family by her side.
Not that you need any reminding, but Kandi Burruss has once again proved she can't be stopped. With new music out and plenty of other projects to keep her busy (including her restaurant empire and producing the movie, The Pass, which is streaming on Peacock), The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member just celebrated another career milestone with her family and a few Real Housewives by her side.
Kandi Burruss celebrates The Wiz with her children, family, and friends
Kandi and her husband, Todd Tucker, are producing the famed musical, The Wiz, which is currently on its national tour before it lands on Broadway. Kandi, Todd, their kids Ace and Blaze, as well as The Real Housewives of Potomac's Candiace Dillard Bassett and Wendy Osefo, were on hand for a performance in Baltimore. She shared more details about the stop on Instagram.
"Last night was a great night!" she captioned a set of photos from the performance. "Thank you to everyone that came to support [and] sold out the venue here In Baltimore again for a second time! [The Wiz] is absolutely amazing!!!! Everybody in the family will love it! Get your tickets before it’s too late."
BTW, Wendy shared her review of the performance on Instagram: "Congrats [Kandi] on the sold out premiere of THE WIZ!! The show was absolutely amazing! The costume, music, dancing, EVERYTHING!! Y’all, make sure to check out [the show] when it comes to your city and bring a friend or two."
Who are Kandi Burruss' children?
Kandi and Todd share four children together: Riley Burrus, Kaela Tucker, Ace Tucker, and Blaze Tucker. Riley, 21, and Kaela, 27, are Kandi and Todd's first daughters from their previous relationships. Ace, 4, is their first son, while Blaze, 3, is their first daughter together.
When does The Wiz open on Broadway?
According to Deadline, The Wiz will land on Broadway in 2024. Broadway previews will kick off on March 29, 2024 with an opening night set for April 17 of next year. The show will take place at the Marquis Theatre with Wayne Brady set for the title role.
Kandi is not new when it comes to her work on Broadway, and when it comes to her work as a producer. In an interview with The Daily Dish back in April 2022, Kandi shared that she does want to attain EGOT status.
"My overall dream is that I get the EGOT," she shared at the time. "Meaning I got a Grammy. I need an Emmy, I need an Oscar, I need a Tony. And so it's like [I need to] analyze the Emmy, Oscar, Tony, and figure out what are all the things I can do to qualify me to be recognized for something like that? So I'm working towards those goals."
She added, "So it's not like I'm stopping there. I'm gonna continue to put in the work until I get my ultimate goal. But it's like, for me, I'm one of those people. I look at the things people do to give me motivation, [like the] people who have done it. When I go back and look at people who have all four, and I feel like, 'Dang, I've been working at it this long and I only have this one.' Then I go back and look, and it's like, [for] a lot of them it took them 50 years, 60 years to get all of them. So I'm like, OK, well, I guess I'm not too, too far off."
Kandi Burruss releases the song "Only For You"
In other news, Kandi also recently dropped new music. Last week, she premiered the track, "Only For You," which, by the way, has Todd's seal of approval. "It’s for me ah yah yah!," he shared about the song's lyrics. Kandi also appears in the video for the track and in it wears a sheer, sparkly black outfit while lying on satiny pink sheets.
