In case anyone is interested about the CHICAGO cast changes. Telecharge has the replacements listed, but they haven't been announced yet.
Terra Macleod as Velma (8/24 - 9/6)
Bianca Marroquin as Roxie (8/17 - 9/6)
Jason Patrick Sands as Billy Flynn (8/11 - 8/16)
Jerry Springer as Billy Flynn (8/18 - 9/6)*
Ray Bokhour as Amos (8/10 - 11/29)
*Mr. Springer will not be performing on Monday - August 24 and Monday - August 31.

Nothing exciting. But I really wish I could see Jason Patrick Sands as Billy Flynn. He's so damn sexy.

How long before this thread gets deleted and then Eddie Varley posts a "breaking news" article announcing Springer's arrival???

Posted: 8/8/09 at 3:26pmHow do you go from Jason Patrick Sands to Jerry Springer? The Chicago casting team boggles my mind.

Posted: 8/8/09 at 4:13pmJPS is the main u/s for Billy Flynn and there's a one week gap between Brent Barrett(last show 8/9) & Springer joining the cast(8/17). And Springer is only playing Billy for two weeks; 8/17 - 8/23 & 9/1 - 9/6.

Posted: 8/8/09 at 4:18pmJason Patrick Sands? Those nips are a little distracting. Must have been cooold in there.
re: CHICAGO cast changes... (Jerry Springer joining)#8
Posted: 8/8/09 at 4:29pmSince when can Springer sing?

I think he's taking 8/24 AND 8/31 off, not 8/24 THRU 8/31.
re: CHICAGO cast changes... (Jerry Springer joining)#10
Posted: 8/8/09 at 4:34pmWill Jason be wearing a shirt as Billy?
re: CHICAGO cast changes... (Jerry Springer joining)#11

^ Hopefully not 
'Since when can Springer sing?'
The same can be said about 90% of the Chicago stunt cast actors. Like I said...this casting team boggles my mind.
ETA: God, if Jason doesn't wear a shirt...hopefully the same costume change won't apply to Jerry. Ew.

Being a good singer, actor or dancer is not a real requiremt for the Weisslers. As long as your name sells tickets you can be in Chicago.

Posted: 8/8/09 at 4:48pmWhat happened to Jason Patrick Sands' body? I'm sure he wasn't that muscular before.
re: CHICAGO cast changes... (Jerry Springer joining)#15
Posted: 8/8/09 at 4:58pmOh yeah I forgot and then thought about how Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie were rumored for Chicago.

It was kinda funny (Im a big Springer fan) so I went to the theatre yesterday and brought myself a ticket for Jerrys first night. I asked the guy if he had any aisle seats (I like them because I get to cross my leg over) and after looking he said I can give u the very first row aisle seat. I immediatly said YES! and he took my money and looked at me for a second and said..
"Now I need you to promise me something."
"Sure what?"
"Promise me your not getting the aisle seat so you can run on stage and try to fight Jerry"
I just started laughing. He was dead serious.
I dont think there gonna advertise this alot because the guy asked me where I heard about it and I told him this website and I said how come I didnt see any signs or anyting promoting him and he told me it would be a waste just to promote someone whos doing this for 2 weeks.
I dont really consider this "Stunt Casting" then. I think more a favor to Springer who just really wanted to perform on Broadway (Although ticket sales from him appering obv. they wouldnt mind that)

Posted: 8/9/09 at 3:00pmI thought he was funny in Rocky Horror Show.
re: CHICAGO cast changes... (Jerry Springer joining)#19
Posted: 8/9/09 at 6:17pmI've heard he was a great Janet.

Posted: 8/9/09 at 8:55pmYup. I thought he was funnier than Dick Cavett.
re: CHICAGO cast changes... (Jerry Springer joining)#23
Posted: 8/9/09 at 9:13pmI'm probably going to catch Jason Patrick Sands as Billy, next Sunday. Sadly, he will be clothed. I can't wait though.
re: CHICAGO cast changes... (Jerry Springer joining)#24
Posted: 8/9/09 at 9:48pmThe person I'd REALLY like to see step in as Billy Flynn is Joe Mantegna, who hasn't done a Broadway musical in 30 years.
