As an English teacher, I must ask: How can an actor do the same SHOW on Broadway and in a MOVIE?

Please pacify me by restructuring that sentence.

Yours for more pleasing grammar,

Dollypop,

I apologize. Please accept this revised question:

"Which actors and actresses portrayed the same character(s) in both the Broadway and the movie musicals?"

[BillyLawlor]

Posted: 2/26/04 at 9:10pm

Yes, Deidre was in Chicago--just not as Velma Kelly---she was one of the Cell Block Tango women...and she was very good.

[CJR]

Posted: 2/26/04 at 9:30pm

damn I suck, I cant believe I didn't mention deidre!

Yeah, Dee was June in the movie. She's played June on Broadway as well though (as well as Velma and Annie)
