I know she's been playing Roxie for a few years now, but tonight was my first time seeing the show. Bianca Marroquin was amazing! She was funny, full of energy and boy could she dance! Even after playing Roxie for so many performances she's still fresh and still clearly having a great time! I hope we get to see more of her in the future!

Im so glad you enjoyed Bibi. She truly shines in the role (and for that matter, in any role she's in!)

I was there tonight too. She was so amazing, all my friends agreed she was the standout of the cast. Has she played Roxie on broadway before now?
I think she's been playing Roxie on Broadway and on Tour since 2002. Three years on tour.

this is either Bibi's 3rd or 4th time in the Broadway company (her Broadway debut being back when Chicago was still at the Shubert.... so.... Summer of 02, maybe?). She also played Roxie on tour for well over a year, as well as originating the role in Mexico City.

Was she really on tour that long? That time period when she went on tour initially is such a blur to me...

I'm not sure, according to her Broadwayworld Bio she was in the tour from 2003-2006.
Yea, hi thanks for lending us your blanket!!

I'll have to ask her. Like I said, that time is such a blur. Actually, she spent about 2 years on and off on the tour. In the middle of that, she came back to Broadway for a few weeks.

I saw her in the tour the last time it came to San Francisco! Loved her. I think that was in 2003. It's coming back soon but all I know is that Huey Lewis is in it. I'm waiting to see if they offer $20 pit seats this time like they did before. Then I will go again.

It's remarkable how much she's grown in the role since the first time I saw her when she made her Broadway debut
ETA: Yeah, it was 2 years. She went on tour in May of 03 and came off tour last May or June when she hurt her neck. And then after her hiatus she went into PJG

Oh man, that's right. I totally forgot Backstreet Billy was with the tour for a little bit. How funny! I feel like that was SO long ago!

I saw the tour in May 2005 while I was on a trip in Boston
I thought the cast was great. At that time Terra was Velma who I have seen a few times in the role. I love her performance every time. Both women were wonderful.
here is the review.

Bianca is a fantastic Roxie. I'm so glad you had a good time!

Wait, Vincent... do you run Terra's French site? I happened to notice all your fan photos are of Terra. PM me -- Terra's a friend of mine and I did her site here.

Hello,
No I didnt run her site. My friend did though. A group of us In Paris were " fans " of the show. It was one of the first of its kind in Paris. I met her and Veronic and they are both such sweet women. Nice to meet you.
Broadway Legend Joined: 5/14/03
Ahhhhh okay. Nice to meet you too! :) Yes, Terra and Veronique are both incredibly sweet women, though what I know of Veronique is just from meeting her once, and what Terra has told me. Of course, Terra has nothing but the best to say!
FYI, just a heads up before someone else gets to you... the pic of Terra, Charlotte et al with Wayne Brady is a copyrighted photo from Bway.com and you can't have bway.com pics up here.

Hey guys!!! Soooo glad you have enjoyed Bibis performances as Roxie, on Broadway or on tour. Mhh countrynyj I made the Bio here and yes it says 2006 because after her Broadway season, she is joining once again the tour company for 6 weeks.

Totally put that .com in the wrong spot, CJR. Especially the space and period.
