Posted: 2/25/08 at 6:47pmi have no idea what happened to her....yet I am glad to hear she FINALLY left Chicago. She just wasnt good in my opinion...and I was never lucky enough to see an understudy when I went- she was always in it!! gahhh!

Posted: 2/25/08 at 6:51pmI believe she's coming back after Terra C. MacLeod leaves and will be with the show until some time in May.

I think she also has branched out into choreography, regionally so far. I like her voice too....

Posted: 2/26/08 at 9:39amWOW!! She does need to move on to another show. And I had no clue that Mya was going to play Velma. Is this the first celebrity to take on the Velma role??
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.

Posted: 2/26/08 at 9:46amI saw Chicago on tour back in 2003 (or it might've been 2004) and Brenda Braxton was in it. It's great to see her dedication to the role, but I think she needs to move onto something else!

Brenda is a wonderful performer and very sweet at the stage door, but... I don't like her Velma. She needs to move on permanately after her final performance before Mya joins in May.

Posted: 2/26/08 at 10:11amsometimes I wonder how Braxton's Belle must have been, can't quite picture it. Though I really like "Change in Me" and wasn't it written/added for her?

Posted: 2/26/08 at 10:44amI saw Terra in the show years ago, and the whole performance felt like a bad imitation of Catherine Zeta Jones - not good.

Posted: 2/26/08 at 11:46amnot joking, just ignorant. I confused the two. Are they related? it's not like Braxton is a common last name.
