Kandi Burruss A Mother’s Love Cancelled!?!

Bad news for anyone who was looking forward to seeing Kandi Burruss A Mother’s Love since it was just cancelled due to low ticket sales. Can you believe that Kandi Burruss A Mother’s Love Cancelled?

Kandi’s friend FunkyDineva announced the news before Kandi had a chance to announce it herself. What are friends for, right??? Word is, ‘A Mother’s Love’ but unfortunately the tour has been cancelled after just one week! The musical that Kandi has focused all her time on was cancelled after poor cash and the promoter to blame, CelebNMusic247.com learns. Anyways, FunkyDineva posted this lengthy open-letter announcing the cancellation of the show, which he is in. Dineva writes:

“After all the ranting and the raving, A Mother’s Love WILL NOT be coming to a city nearest you after all. Simply put, it appears that the promoter who the play was licensed to may have bitten off a little more than they could chew. Quiet as its kept, I knew something in the milk wasn’t clean when the check I was written for my first week’s salary bounced. Writing this post is a little weird for me, because I am so use to telling other people’s tea, and not my own. However, here we go…For those of you wondering “how is it that the play stop moving due to lack of resources, and Kandi is rich”, here’s how. Kandi & Todd created and produced the original play. After the play’s initial run in Atlanta, Kandi & Todd were apprehensive about travelling the play around the US on their dime, because these were unchartered territories for them. One magical day, A promoter approached Kandi & Todd about wanting to invest in and promote the play on a 30 city tour. The reasonable assumption to any rational adult is that if someone approaches you about putting a 30 city tour together, that they have the resources and the skill set to do so. Well we all know what they say about assumptions…Fast forwarding to casting. The cast was eventually given phone calls, a few cast changes were made, salaries were negotiated, and we were on our way to travelling across the US spreading the joys of A Mother’s Love. Mama I’m going to be a big star!! NOT! Here is where things get a little murky. A gamble was made by a promoter who used people’s lives as chips. Being given a contract that pretty much says you will be on the road from September – December and paid XYZ salary weekly was all the go ahead people needed to quit their day jobs, reject other offers, and basically rearrange their lives. Last night, when news broke that the tour was cancelled, there were many tears shed. People’s lives changed in a matter of seconds. Expecting to be paid this Monday, and in exchange being told that the tour is no more, coupled with the fact that you quit your job (your only source of income), emotions were running high. There were some people in the room who honestly had no other money than what was in their pocket, and was really depending on this Monday payout.”

A Mother’s Love did perform successfully in 3 cities but attendance could have been better. Thoughts?
