Do you know what expectations are for Rita Wilson as Roxie Hart?

And another question... do you know if they are going to have rush tickets for her first perfomance, June 12th?

Thanks!

Any bets on whether Tom Hanks will take over as Billy Flynn?

I was just about to say that, but then I remembered reading that Obba Babbatunde (or however he spells his name) extended until August.

If Tom Hanks expresses a desire, they'll buy out that dude in 5 seconds.

For a second I thought that said "Rita Rudner" and I thought - you know what? Thats actually brilliant casting - particularly as she was a dancer in several Broadway shows before becoming a comedianne.

Silly question, but who is Rita scheduled to play?

Gosh, I really need to research this cast, seeing as I'm seeing it the 13th, lol...

WOW. It's amazing how much studying for finals can mess with your head. My apologies regarding my inability to perform the simple task of reading. LOL. *hangs head in shame*

I doubt Tom Hanks would come in as Billy, as he's said repeatedly he dislikes musicals.
