Antonio in CHICAGO is a LIE!

Are you sure?

She can't be wrong. She runs the official Roxanne Carrasco website.

Are you sure that this person is reporting this as fact and not as a joke? After all this is a chat board and nothing on here can be taken as total truth.

during the week of Sept 21 when i was in NYC, there was gossip all over the Theatre District about this possibility (Antonio and Melanie together in CHICAGO in LA). Several people i met brought it up spontaneously, almost at the mention of either of the stars names, their shows, or sometimes in a random conversation about film stars (like Graham and Jackman) doing live theater. So pinpointing a "source" would be difficult. And as to the producers wanting to sue any one theorizing about a rumor...remember, there is no such thing as "bad publicity." If LA ticket sales spiked a bit because Antonio MIGHT be in the show, what do they care? and if the media chooses to report on the rumor and then have to verify its untruth, that's just a little less publicity the Weisslers have to buy.

Hey Txtwostep,
I agree with you 100 %. But remember... she stated this as FACT not opinion on this board. If you go back and read her old postings you will see this. You know... I am sure she read it on some paper or heard it from someone and took it as fact. - This is pretty funny. Everyone in my office is standing around my computer now following this drama. -

No tirades. I'm saying this and that's it. You either like it or you don't and if you DON'T like what I have to say, tough ****.

I only know what I'm told. And I had posted that I heard the Antonio "rumor" and then I heard he signed. I see now, it wasn't true, but like I said, I was only going on what I was told. No normal person "blows up their source" online so I wasn't going to. Don't shoot the messenger.

Oh and theaternut, as for why you never received a response for me, (and RobD can vouch for my absence from the board because of this) I was too busy planning my father's funeral. He died of stage 4 Cancer 9 months after his diagnosis. Sorry if you think your wanting an answer to your question was more important and I shouldn't have put it on the back burner, but I had better (however unplesant) things to do.

And Post Production -- this is the first inaccuracy I have ever posted here when it comes to Chicago, fyi. If you're going to say something, get your facts straight....

But she brought up the Antonio thing again today and it just irked me.
Um WHERE did I bring this up today? Because I posted no such thing today and I think I would remember.

also...

I hope someone in the company cares enough to find out who she really is and sues the hell out of her.
Ummm do you NOT pay a lot of attention on this board? Everyone in the company already KNOWS who I am... and nobody's gonna sue me either. Sorry to disappoint you.

As for me not liking Melanie... *sigh* it doesn't even matter anymore as her run is over. Anyone who knows me knows I'm highly opinionated. Sorry that I think there should be STANDARDS such as being able to dance and sing when you're in a Fosse Show... god forbid

And I never went on "hate tirades about her". I had very strong feelings and opinions about her PERFORMANCE, but she is a very lovely woman. There was a lot of joking amongst the other members that if something ever happened to Melanie I'd better have a good alabi. But it was just that... JOKING. I would never do anything to someone just cause I don't like their performance or find them untalented.

Suleen -- thank you. I appreciate your post.

You know CJR,
I am sorry about your dad. That's a horrible thing. Don't hold that against me. Am I suppose to know your father is dying of cancer? But it is so weird...if you look back at other posts.. you had no trouble answering other things on the same date and after. Hmmmmm. Very weird. .. Very weird. As far as the Antonio thing.... hon; you did state it as fact. LOOK AT YOUR POSTS. And I mean go way back. ( unless of course you are now hitting that little edit button) You even lashed out when someone corrected you.Anyway; love that you love Chicago. It is my favorite show. And I LOVE ROXANNE CARRASCO. Would love to see her in West Side Story.

"glad to hear you "love roxane carrasco" but I loooove how you went and edited it from "you've lost all credibility here" to how you love her. "

Yes I did edit that out almost immediately. My co-worker here pointed out that I was crossing that line into personal attack ( maybe I already did but I didn't mean to) and I didn't and don't want to do that. And I really do Love Roxanne Carrasco. I saw her in a Chorus line and I even think I have a video of her somewhere from when she sang "What I did for Love" on Phil Donahue years ago.

I am staying out of this.

Wait a minute, there's going to be a Zorro 2? WHY? Did anybody not trapped watching it on an airplane actually pay money to see the first one? Cripes. I remember when they only made sequels to successful movies.

WOW! Rob has the power. Guess I better only say things like I LOVE ROB. ROB WILL YOU MARRY ME....oh wait, I would say that anyway.

Hahahaha it was in the back of your mind too, Sueleen? lmao I was shooting darts (I play on a dart league for the bar where I work) and all I kept thinking about was the mess I was gonna come home to Hahahaa

Thanks to all who said something in my defense and to Rob for taking action

~Heather

Though I must say, even though theaternut and post production turned out to be the same person (which almost doesn't surprise me), I wish I had been able to read that now edited reply. I heard something about him/her disecting my post line for line and calling me a bitch.... Dammit, I could have used a good laugh! lmao

So THIS is the tread everyone was talking about--I don't care for Antonio so I didn't read it last night.

I could have told you that wasn't TheaterNut--Mr. T wouldn't have posted like that--at least not the Mr. T I knew on Broadway.com.

CJR--I'm very sorry for your loss. My father passed from lung cancer. I don't know if you can consider yourself lucky or not. We were told my dad would live 6 months, it was 3 years. In that time, I watched a proud, wonderful man waste away slowly and very painfully. At the end, I didn't know what to wish/hope for.

Well thank goodness for Rob. I don't know why some people feel they need split personalities to get their point across. Ain’t that right? Right, D. I agree with you 100% Who was THAT??
