You know who I think would be a good Chicago cast are

Roxie Hart-Kerry Butler
Velma Kelly-Susan Egan
Billy Fylnn-Will Chase
Matron "Mama" Morton-Mary Stout
Amos Hart-John Cudia

Hmmm.... I'm actually liking the Susan Egan idea. Never thought of that before.

How about...

Roxie Hart - Harvey Firestein
Velma Kelly - Joan Rivers
Billy Fylnn - Joey Fatone
Matron "Mama" Morton - Rod from Avenue Q
Amos Hart - Mary J. Blidge

that works, I think...

Harvey Friestien as Roxie? How would he fit into the sliky costumes? And he needs to to have a high range.

I LOOOOVEEE the Susan Egan idea. She's PERFECT for that role. She can definitely dance and act the part, and singing isn't an issue for her. I also agree with Kerry Butler. We haven't seen her dancing, though.

And Billy Fylnn could be prtrayed by Will Chase, Joey Fatone, Adam Pascal or even John Selya (of Movin Out).

Susan Egan already has bobbed hair to use as Velma.

Hugh Jackman was offered the role of Billy Flynn in the movie but he turned it down because he thought he was "too young." Hence, we got Richard Gere.

Susan Eagan's hair has worked for everything.

I think Susan Egan would be perfect! She's got a great voice, and her Velma would be incredible!

Rod would be GREAT as Mama! "When your good to Mama, Mama's good to YOOOOOOOOU!"

we've seen kerry dancing. this was when she was Penny in Hairspray. i know that it is kind of hard to judge though, because she was supposed to dance like a loser. those are great ideas though!

kerry has openly said that she isn't much of a dancer, and that dancing off-beat was easy, but having to dance well during the finale was hard.

How about Kirsten Chenoweth as Roxie? Yes it's a big jump for her but I'm comfant that she can do Roxie.

That would be possibly more hideous than Melanie Griffith. Her name is Kristin, by the way. Not Kirstin.

I think it'd be funny to see her shot someone. She's just so cute! But I could definately see her do Roxie's numbers

re: Chicago

Totally! How about Kristen Chenoweth as Roxie Hart alongside Susan Egan as Velma Kelly and Hugh Panero as Billy Fylnn!
