Anyone have a revolver handy?

PS. Still nothing is official.
This has happened a lot with this show.

Tori Spelling, Smokey Robinson, Tara Connor anyone?

I agree with what was said on the clip. Unfortunately, the Weisslers are hiring people that make absolutely no sense. How great would it be to have these two great roles played by solid actors with real skills, instead of D-list celebrities.

Can Hasselhoff be far behind as Billy Flynn?

There is a grisly thought.

I couldn't even watch that all the way through.

Who are these judgmental f*cks?

It sickens me how someone actually pays them to sit around and make judgments about people they don't even know.

Another reason to stay far away from TV. And more proof as to why people in small towns are so bigoted. They just sit around and watch this crap on TV instead of getting out and meeting real people.

jv92 -- you're one of the reasons people and things get misquoted.

If you watch again, she clearly asks "...when did CHICAGO become the joke musical?" She didn't state that -- she asked that.

2 totally different things, but unfortunately... most only hear what you did.

"Who are these judgmental f*cks?"

Isn't that what people on this board do? And the rest of your post, you're not being judgemental yourself? Seriously?

It's fine not to like what they said but to essentially take that little clip and turn it into the downfall of civilization is a bit much.

This is a perfect example of what is wrong with all these commercial shows. Many Americans would rather watch some has-been (usually not trained in dance or voice) plod her way though a popular show, instead of seeing someone they don't know, and have never seen before sing, dance, and act at a higher level of talent. America Idol and dancing with the stars (while both can be entertaining) have lead so many of the general public to believe that ANYONE can do it. That is why most performers/actors/dancers still do not get real respect for their occupation. It is really sad. So YES chicago has become a joke. When I saw it, the ushers were shouting at the audience members before the show in the most unprofessional manner. I felt like I was at the fair grounds and they were hurdling in the cattle. There was no respect for the theatre involved. And I saw Brooke Shields, who wasn't bad, in comparison to the ensemble which was tired/bored/and for the most part completely uninterested-which may be due to the fact that they were sick of watching a celebrity take on a leading role that many of the female ensemble members probably could have performed much better.

Let's all jump on one statement that was said on a show on cable that has a lower viewership than the people that have posted on this thread! NAAAAAAAAAA!
