Following in the footsteps of fellow American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino, Jordin Sparks is ready to take the stage on Broadway ! Set to portray Nina Rosario in the Tony-award winning play In the Heights, Sparks is booked for a 12-week stint running August 19 to November 14, 2010. “It’s always been one of my dreams to perform on Broadway,” Jordin said in a statement. “This is a brand-new experience for me. I look so forward to spending time in New York City and joining this talented cast and my favorite new musical.” ‘In the Heights’ centers around three generations living in a neighborhood located at the north end of Manhattan.
