LaChanze was criticized for skipping performances during the run of The Color Purple; after winning the Tony, she has not given a full week's worth of performances. In an August 2006 story in the New York Post, Michael Riedel wrote, "A hiker in the Himalayas has a better chance of spotting a snow leopard than a theatergoer at The Color Purple has of seeing its Tony-winning star, LaChanze. . . . She was out of Once on This Island so many times that wags dubbed it 'Once in the Show.' When she was in the Lincoln Center musical Dessa Rose, her understudy, Kenita Miller, performed more often than she did."
