Angelica Ross Is About To Make Broadway History: Today Show

Posted: 9/11/22 at 7:12pm

Who is seeing Angelica tomorrow evening? https://www.today.com/popculture/popculture/angelica-ross-chicago-roxie-hart-rcna47192?cid=sm_npd_td_fb_ma&fbclid=IwAR1w5YeU4k96g3GmbxZpi-uWIXbJ_bjxHEZURuJtWAXvxdIb8NboGQCOCQM

"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)

Gotta love the Chicago PR team for not changing the cast page on their website.

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.

It might help if you read the article before criticizing. They're saying that Angelica is first openly transgender woman to LEAD a Broadway show. The article also correctly states that others such as Peppermint and L Morgan Lee have appeared in Broadway shows.

The leads in WICKED are the actresses playing Glinda and Elphaba. All other roles are featured principal roles - they are not leads. Billings was not a lead actress in WICKED whereas Ross is indeed a lead in CHICAGO. Had she been cast as Mama Morton, the phrasing would be different.

This happens though. I've noticed it with other shows when their leads change. It's not just a Chicago thing.

Odd Chicago didn't release any production photos of Ross as Roxie.

Production photos aren’t released until a couple of weeks into the run. VOGUE wanted to release an exclusive with Pamela Anderson, hence the series of photos of her taken by fashion photographer Ellen von Unwerth that CHICAGO used as press photos. Production photos of Pamela in her actual Roxie costume were released after she was well into her run. Tonight we’ll get the standard first curtain call photos.

I thought she was quite good tonight. She has a pretty nice singing voice and seeing how you just never know with this show, that was a nice surprise. I think she could use a week or two to get more comfortable in the role because there were a few times she appeared a bit timid but maybe that's only to someone like me who's seen this show 525,600 times. If I were giving notes, it would be that even though she was mic'd, to speak up a little more. There were a couple lines that were dropped because of how low they were spoken but that's an easy fix.

There was no cartwheel tonight and the dancing seemed a bit "light", so I'm not sure if it's still being worked on or if that's just how it'll be during her run. Again, overall, a successful night for her and I wish her all the best the next couple months.

The curse of having only three Broadway shows play on Mondays.
