...several new services promise to relieve the tedium with downloadable MP3 workouts. Among the best is iAmplify.com which puts a personal trainer in your iPod or other portable digital music player.

This was strange, since her tub-thumping on her own program a while back generated a $2-million box office blitz the next day. Maybe she thinks she's done her bit for now, in bringing the word of this all-black-cast show to potential Broadway visitors, especially the African-American middle class that hasn't always had reason to spend a couple hundred dollars on an evening's entertainment...
