"Also, where in my post do I say that I use flash??"

Did I say YOU???

no.

It's not always about YOU!

I don't care what you think you believe, it's IS illegal.


But just keep right on doing it, if it makes you feel better about yourself.

At this point, I think any new blood would be a welcome addition to the Broadway company. I saw the show in NYC about a month ago and it seemed like most of the cast was on autopilot.

In the program, did they list the ensemble?? If so, can someone post it?? I can't find a FULL cast list anywhere.

"And continue to pull out your flash cameras to prove what an idiot you are considering a flash doesn't work past 4 feet"
- Looks like you did.....

That was aimed any any idiot who takes flash pictures at a concert or arena.

Again, it's not all about YOU!!!!

Then it should have been "THEY are" not You, and "Their Flash Camera" instead of Your. You is singular- imply one, They implies more then one person.

He's right though. The rest of your post was about him and you continued to use "you." How could ANYONE assume you were still talking to him? You sure acted like it...

Now someone who takes flash pictures in an arena is an idiot? I normally ignore the aggressive people on this board but sometimes we have to fight back against these posters who use ad hominem attacks.

Then stop using your flash.

No the program did not list the Ensemble, which I found very upsetting, I paid $1 for a catalog of advertisements, with an article about the show, but no listing of the cast.

The programs at the Bowl are usually a magazine used for each month. Remember that just a few weeks ago they weren't even done with casting.

TheatreDiva: Hello. Would you happen to know the names of the ensemble members of this production? If you do, would you share them with us. That would be swell. Thanks...RC in Austin, Texas

Actually, the program does indeed list the cast including bios. Gregory Butler is credited as choreographer with the disclaimer: "Staging Based on the 1996 Broadway revival directed by Walter Bobbie, and choreographed in the style of Bob Fosse by Ann Reinking."

The company:

Brad Anderson, Shamicka Benn-Moser, Alexis Carra, Shawn Emamjomeh, Melissa Emrico, Julie Garnye, Charissa Hogeland, Chris Holley, Aurore Joly, Ron Kellum, David Michael Laffey, Melissa Lyons, Max Miller, Jessica Perrizo, Mark C Reis, Adrianne Richards, Randy Slovacek, Sherisse Springer, Leslie Stevens, D. Tablak, Kim Taylor, Evelyn Christina Tonn, Mathew Tyler, Leigh Wakeford, Melanie Waldron, Karl Warden, Shannon Warne, Corey Wright, Samantha Barks, Drew Carey, Lucy Lawless, Stephen Myer and Ashlee Simpson.

I have to admit that legendary West End star Ashlee Simpson didn't look as bad as I would have imagined. Still, it is a shame that with all the stunt casting Chicago has endured over the last two decades, you're less likely to see a true triple threat in Velma and Roxie. There's a difference between "moves well" and "great dancer". Doesn't seem to matter anymore, though.

Hope this isn't a total thread hijack, but it doesn't seem like folks have much more to say about this Bowl production. Did anyone catch Melanie Griffith as Roxie? How was she? That seems like great casting.

Melanie Waldron! She was my Velma when she led the Non-Eq tour along with Lindsay Roginski!

Apparently she was so bad which made her so good. Updated On: 7/31/13 at 02:47 AM

I saw her. She was literally just one train wreck after another... you couldn't look away, and yet I loved every minute of her drunken stumble through the show.

Jesus Christ, Samantha Barks owned it! What a Rock star. I was a bit skeptical of her playing Velma Kelly, but she killed it.
