Profile for Patti LuPone FANatic

Chicago's numbers are impressive.  For those who have seen the show, has Sorvino improved in her performances?

What about Jason Patrick Sands?

Any thoughts on a possible replacement for Mira Sorvino past Nov. 2nd?  Also, maybe it would be a good idea for a new Search For.....with the emphasis on Velma.  It wouldn't hurt the show to create some buzz. The original Search For Roxie garnered some decent publicity for the show.   Just thinking out loud.

On the day Dunaway was let go, who went on as Norma?  Also, knowing that Faye could be fearsome, what was her relationship with the creatives and with the rest of the cast during the rehearsal process and brief performance run?

"Most of you are not worth my time and effort."  May you and your ego take all the time you need.  A very long time.

 

How was Sophie Carmen Jones?   Is there anyone else aside from Pamela Anderson or Ariana Madix who can give the show a lift?

BobbyBaccalieri said: "I wonder if they’re trying to get Pamela Anderson back for Chicago asap."  Indeed.  Sorvino's first week was promising, but now.  That is a very steep drop for Chicago.  Either Pamela Anderson or Ariana Madix could help improve the grosses.  My heart goes out to Mira Sorvino.

No word on a new Billy or Amos."

Sophie Carmen Jones is Velma Kelly until December 14th.  

I'll take a wild guess and say that it'll be Max Von Essen returning as Billy.

Previously, someone mentioned that Reddit reviews of Mira were mixed.  It would be great for someone who has seen her first hand to share their thoughts about her performance.  The producers haven't even release a snippet of Mira dancing along or together with Bianca Marroquin.  

I see the Broadway Grosses post for Sept. 21...but it's emply?

Reddit has mixed reviews.



And no news who's Velma and Billy starting next week..."  My wish would be for Terra C to make a return to the Ambassador.  After all, she just finished her Canadian run.  But, perhaps that ship has sailed.  

 

I am surprised that there has been no mention of Mira Sorvino's performance.  How is she doing?  

Impressive numbers for Chicago.  The show hasn't shown an 85% in quite a long time.  Hopefully, having Mira Sorvino as Roxie will help increase the grosses.

Is anyone going to see Mira Sorvino's debut as Roxie Hart tomorrow, Monday September 15th?  It would be interesting to know your thoughts about her performance.  The one thing I did not know about her was that she's a fairly tall at 5'10.  Good luck to her!

I imagine the investors of "The Queen of Versailles" must be plenty worried about the fallout regarding Chenoweth's statements.  Her comments were puzzling, to say the least.
