There's a post about someone comparing Christina Applegate and John Lithgow claiming they're both TV stars who decided to do a show on Broadway, which is completely not true given that Lithgow is known as a Broadway star who has been awarded two Tonys. However,someone suggested that the real comparison should be Christina Applegate and Brooke Shields.
Now, I think they're both great performers. Applegate-and we all know she's not Gwen Verdon-gives 150% on stage as Charity, and Brooke Shields was validated when she took over Donna Murphy on Wonderful Town and got excellent reviews (it helped that she didn't miss almost every performance like Murphy). I don't know how the Chicago reviews were but I like her acting. I honestly respect both performers and I think they both have done justice to the roles they take on stage.

I heard they are lesbian lovers too.
A thread comparing these two has already been started as well...

but that thread does not delve into their sexual history together. This is the official thread for that! You know about official threads, don't you?

Thank you chita for your enlightening perspective...
Um. I'd be way more interested in their sexual history with their sexy husbands.
Well Brooke Certainly has more to her resume, but props to her for not letting Tom Cruise standing up to Tom Cruise!!!!!! Christina was quoted in a magazine saying that she's love to comeback to broadway, but she has bills to pay so she is going back to movies for a while(she makes it sound that simple :)
Anyways, John Lithgow got his start on the stage, so he's definately in a different category as far as I'm concearned.

anytime blu. chita will straighten you out whenever you want.
I saw both of these performers live.
Christina in "Sweet Charity" and Brooke in "Wonderful Town" and both were amazing! They are two of my favorite performers because they work so hard on that damn stage and are very respectful people.
