Ute Lemper and Anna Montanaro as Velma.
Roxie has to be Ruthie Henshall Maria Friedman, Sandy Duncan and Chita Rivera. All four were hilarious, but only Ruthie danced it right.

Ann Reinking and Lenora Nimitz.
Second best was Reinking and Bebe Neuwirth, but that was due to the production's being excellent but inferior to the original.
The worst was Reinking and Nancy Hess.

Why was Hess and Reinking a bad combination?
I can't imagine anything with Ann in being bad! :)

Posted: 6/4/13 at 2:08pmDid you see Reinking in the '96 revival? I wish I had. Such a technical performer. Though apparently not there very often.

Posted: 6/4/13 at 2:27pmI've only seen CHICAGO once (Fan Day), but Leigh Zimmermann and Bianca Marroquin were ELECTRIC as Velma and Roxie.

Posted: 6/4/13 at 4:08pmThere's a lot of hate for Hess. I loved her. One day, when Uta left mid-performance, Hess rushed back mid-show after she had been released, The curtain had to be rung down, and Hess had to perform "I Can't Do It Alone" without the benefit of warming up - and she did it brilliantly.

"Grease," the fourth revival of the season, is the worst show in the history of theater and represents an unparalleled assault on Western civilization and its values. - Michael Reidel
