Danity Kane stand-out Aubrey O’Day is getting ready to make her Broadway debut in Hairspray, a show she says takes on renewed significance this election year. “I think it’s such an important musical right now, just because of Obama being nominated for president and the discussion on how the country feels about race,” O’Day tells EW.com. “Then you have Hairspray live every day of the week addressing it very strongly.”
O’Day will play Amber Von Tussle starting July 18, joining another Making the Band alumnus, former O-Towner Ashley Parker Angel. But O’Day reveals that when the role was first presented to her, she wasn’t entirely jazzed about the campy production. “I always dreamed of playing Maureen in Rent, a show that really pushed the limits by dealing with AIDS and homosexuality,” she says. “So I thought, ‘What limits am I gonna push with Hairspray?‘ But the great thing about Amber, which everybody paints as the bitch, is really she’s not; she
just doesn’t know any better and she’s scared of
change. So yeah, it’s fun and campy, but also so much more than that.”

I actually really like Aubrey. She’s messy sometimes, but she seems pretty cool about it.
I am a big fan of Danity Kane I’ve been with these girls from day one. From the first audtion until now and what I have notice is that Aubrey has seem to lose focus on the group. Her attitude has change and she seems to be alot wilder and out spoken she has this attitude has if it’s all about her and I don’t like that because that’s not who she was from the begining. I would love for them to remain together because they were the perfect match I was very pleased when Diddy picked these five girls because I felt that they had the best overall talent. But If D.Woods and Aubrey don’t share the vision of the group then maybe it’s time they move on. I know Shannon and Dawn have the vision and they have the determination to make it. I know Diddy is allways hard on the girl’s but I feel this time he wanted them to be honest with him and tell him what’s going on with them and no one stood up at the begining and told the truth until he got mad and then of course Aubrey had to tell everything.
i am so happy aubrey o’day is out!!!!
