She will really be missed in "legally Blonde." I especially love the little move she makes (like a tiny Jackie Gleason IYKWIM)with the line "Mister you're fired, look who I hired...") and the sexy stomach rolls and hand gestures at the beginning of "Whipped into Shape" and especially the delicious "Goooooooooood" she tells the ladies in the jail at the end of the number.
She has really made that role more than is on the written page.
There is a tour so it's possible that's what snelson's being considered for and she is (and looks) completely age appropriate. As for D'Amboise, she was one of the better Roxie's I've seen and while she's not the greatest singer, she mostly sticks to roles where the dancing is far more important so I think she's been more than just servicable.
Totally have to disagree about 'not the best singer'- Nikki's version of "Come to Your Senses" from TTB is one of my most favorite songs *ever,* I love her voice.
I thought CD was amazing when I saw ACL, but I think she's just getting sick of she show. Needless to say, I think Nikki could give the part the justice that it needs.
It's offtopic, but when I saw Dena as Bebe, I thought that she was horrible... She lacked alot of personality.
Elizabeth Parkinson is an amazing dancer but she definitly can't sing the part.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
Haha that's what I meant about it being weird they had Dena listed as Bebe already.

The choosing was not...

That's interesting, considering "Come to Your Senses" is supposed to be performed badly.

Yeah, her version of 'Come to Your Senses' is definitely not a favorite of mine. However, her vocals in Annie Get Your Gun and on the cast recording were lovely. I would cite the latter rather than the former in favor of your argument, Anakela.
That being said, I never saw Charlotte in the role, but an understudy and I was as disenchanted with that understudy as most seem to have been with Charlotte. I'd live to see Nikki do some actual dancing, and if ACL is the place, I'd love to give the show a second chance.
