I saw Chandra Wilson in the supporting cast of "Caroline, Or Change," and she was wonderful. By the time I got to "Avenue Q," though -- and anyone who didn't see it Off-Broadway -- she was no longer playing Gary Coleman.

Chandra Wilson can sing... She got her start singing in musicals for Theatre Under the Stars in Houston, Texas. I have a friend who worked with her in a couple shows there and he remembers has having a lovely voice and a wonderful personality.

I hope not (to the musical)... c'mon!

We've heard Wilson sing on grey's anatomy several times. She's got a great voice (assuming it was really her singing - it didn't seem like a lipsynch and if she's going to be in a broadway play then it's probably safe to assume it was really her own voice). If i recall correctly, she sang a song at the end of an episode somewhat recently... the end of last season or very early in this season, don't remember exactly. She has also sang songs to her baby. Obviously they're not drawn out musical numbers... but she definitely has a good voice, and she'd be great in that role in Chicago.

That brings up a good question - how long do you all think it will be before Grey's Anatomy has an "all musical" episode? Probably during a sweeps week. Scrubs did it a few years ago ("My Musical" - which is one of my favorite episodes). GA is such a gimmicky show that I figure they'd do it within the next 2 to 3 seasons - regardless of whether the whole cast can sing (most people can talk-sing which is good enough for TV).
