I would chew my left arm off to see her. Sigh.
But yes, if anyone is going today, or at some point in the near future, please post a review! I'm so so curious to hear how she does as Roxie.

Posted: 12/31/06 at 1:09pmI have to wait until February 27 to see Bebe in Chicago. I hope its worth the wait.

Posted: 12/31/06 at 1:19pmI'd very much like to. I think it may a good enough reason to finally see the Chicago revival.

Posted: 12/31/06 at 1:58pmYou're so lucky, filmgirl! I can't wait to hear about it. I wish I could go and see her.
There wouldn't be lights bright enough!

Posted: 12/31/06 at 1:58pmShe's currently contracted through March 25, but I wouldn't be surprised one bit if she extended.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I'm planning on being in NYC from May 29 -- June 1st. It would be fabulous if I could see her in "Chicago." Now, I have to decide what shows to see: "Chorus Line", "Avenue Q", "Chicago"...maybe I can also see "The Drowsy Chaperone" on a Wednesday. We'll see. I can't wait to go eat some "vittles" at
the Cosmic Diner on 8th Avenue & West 52nd Street. from Roman in Austin, Texas
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Posted: 12/31/06 at 2:52pmI'll be going in a few weeks, as soon as Phil Casnoff joins the cast. I'm excited, never seen Bebe in this show and never seen Casnoff in anything that ran more than a month.

I went.
I won't make friends with my comments.
I will say that I will treasure my memory of Bebe as Velma.
I will say that she was better in the second act.
I will say that it was great to see her again.
I will say that Huey Lewis has to go.
I will say the Brenda needs to be Velma and not Brenda, although I love Brenda.

I'm waiting for Phil too. I can't wait to see Bebe, though, and I'm sure she'll have settled into the role by then.
My question is purely superficial. What pic is outside? What hair does she have? (God help me, I hope it's something close to the Velma bob and not the usual 'do.) Outfits?
Also, how was her dancing? I know she's got the ol' bionic hip now, is it working enough so she is dancing the hell out of the role, a la Charlotte?

Thank you, jonart.
And I'm guessing Brenda Braxton who I believe is fantastic. But I'm surprised to see her back so soon seeing as how she just left about a month ago.
