My name is Roman Castillo Jr. I live in Austin, Texas, a relatively liberal community. I am a big fan of Chicago the Musical. I have seen the show 35 times (the first one being on St. Patrick's Day 2011) and one concert version in 2019 in Dallas. When I first visited NYC in 2006, I really didn't give Chicago much of a thought. Once I saw it on March 17, 2011, I was hooked. At the stage door, I met Ryan Lowe, Jason Patrick Sands and Leigh Zimmerman (Velma Kelly). Over the years, I have met many of the Chicago cast members at the stage door: Bianca Marroquin, Terra C, Dylis Croman, Jennifer Fouche and so many others. I got a chance to visit backstage at the Ambassador Theatre due to the kindness of Jason Patrick Sands. I had a chance to meet Charlotte D'Amboise inside the theatre as well. I have often wondered if the cast members are aware of this thread about the show. When I see Chicago, I always try to get a seat on the first row. I have met several Broadway legends over the years: Angela Lansbury and Marian Seldes (2007), Chita Rivera (2015) and also Judith Light. I love New York City and Broadway.

Solid run though." Ha? You must have ice in your veins to mock a show that is ending. Rude.

I think I saw something online that mentioned Denny Paschall as being the show's dance captain, while David Bushman works in an international production.

I think Nick Adams would be an amazing Billy Flynn. He is a fantastic triple threat! Aside from that, he has a history with the show. May the casting deities make it happen.

Broadway Grosses: Week Ending 10/6/24

When people think of "Sunset Boulevard", a good number of them will remember the style and staging of productions in the 90's and the 2017 revival. I would also love to see the current Australian production with Sarah Brightman. Although the current Sunset revival has received raves (in Britain) for it's incredible interpretation, I do think that there are quite a few Sunset fans who are put off by the bare bones / austere approach that is currently being showcased.....like me. I wonder how t

Has anyone had a chance to see Alyssa Milano as Roxie? The most recent grosses weren't the best, obviously. I'd be curious to know how she's doing with the singing and dancing.

Also, this is currently a viral TikTok moment so everyone and their mother is currently posting videos doing this routine (Google: viral). This will be over in another few weeks before another dance routine goes viral." How would you know? I meant they aspire to become Chicago
