Jordin Sparks, the youngest contestant to win “American Idol,” is ready for another challenge. She will make her Broadway debut this summer in the Tony-winning musical “In the Heights.”
Sparks will play Nina Rosario, a college student with a secret who returns to her old neighborhood in New York’s Washington Heights. She will perform for 12 weeks, from Aug. 19 through Nov. 14.
Since winning the 2007 “American Idol” title when she was 17, Sparks has pursued a recording career, starting with a debut album that produced a series of Top 5 hits on Billboard’s pop singles chart.
She has won an American Music Award for favorite adult contemporary artist and received a Grammy nomination for best pop collaboration with vocals for “No Air.”
“In the Heights,” which won four 2008 Tonys including one for best musical, was conceived by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who wrote the music and lyrics, and has a book by Quiara Alegria Hudes. A touring production of the show is set to play the Pantages Theater in Hollywood in June and the Orange County Performing Arts Center in Costa Mesa in August.

Originally frontloaded to the spring, Jordin Sparks‘ tour calendar recently underwent a major overhaul.
More than a dozen concerts from her Battlefield Tour itinerary have been rescheduled for summer or cancelled outright, and several others are still awaiting a final decision.
The tour will not officially launch until June 1, though some spring performances remain on the books. At the moment, the summer trek’s first confirmed event is a rescheduled June 3 show at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ.
An April 23 show at Newport Music Hall in Columbus, OH, which would have launched the tour, is now cancelled. According to that venue promoter’s official Web site, refunds will be available from the original point of purchase through May 1. Also axed from the calendar is a May 6 performance at Main Street Armory in Rochester, NY.
According to Sparks’ official Web site, the changes are the result of “an effort to bring [the tour] to more cities throughout the country.” More tour dates are expected in the near future, with the summer 2010 routing eventually hitting about 35 national markets.
This past weekend Jordin Sparks was spotted hanging out with her cousins at the Busch Gardens theme park in Florida.
