She sure is excited.

We all know what happened last time they did one of these.

I love Melora! She's amazing on The Office.

Anyone else think she'd make a great Baker's Wife in Into the Woods?

Does anyone else find her outbursts at the end really, really awkward? Still not convinced she'll be able to pull off Roxie.

She emailed me and is VERY excited.

When I got to work with her on Le Miz, she was SO nice and just a pleasure to be around.

I wish her well!

I don't know about the dancing, but her voice is certainly better suited to singing Roxie than Fantine.

Kind of awkward but adorable. She seems very excited so I can't wait to hear reports/recordings

I adore Melora's talent (singing and dancing) but that was a little too much of "Trust me! Love me!" whereas I would have preferred more of her singing to be featured in the preview.

For anyone who missed it, here's some footage of Melora singing "Roxie" that was put up on BWW early this year.

What you are seeing in that video is actually who she is:

Beautiful
Funny
Wacky
and actually really thrilled to be asked to do the job.

As she said, she's trained for years, so now's she's getting her chance to show it all off, ON BROADWAY!


Too bad it's for the Weaslers.

She's off her rocker. And I love it.

She is NOTHING like the character she plays on The Office, AT ALL.

She is a riot in person, and has SO MUCH energy.

And, DAMN, she's looking good in those shots!

Not gonna lie, I found her really braggy and annoying in that video. She was great on the Office (until they made Jan a nutter) and I'm sure she's excited but yeah, I don't like her.

I love that they do the photo shoots ON the stage.

But, Winter,

You just whine about everything.

No one cares.

I'm so excited to go see her! eee. Does anyone know how long she's going to be in Chicago?

Supposedly until February 12, though I hope she extends a bit. I get there the day after and would really like to see me some Jan Levinson-Gould.

Yeah, I found the video a little self-gratifying (though not in an annoying way like Cody Greene's West Side Story bio)...

I thought it was nice to see that she's actually excited about the opportunity and she has put in a lot of time in the business so why shouldn't she get to display some talent.

One thing is for sure...that hair will NOT survive a full show. Maybe at the beginning but by the end of the show it would be a hot mess.

mormonophobic, there's no Gould!

I chose, and my world was shaken. So what? The choice may have been mistaken. The choosing was not.
