Chicago Costume Question

Posted: 6/9/06 at 11:27pm

Anybody remember what Roxie wears in the courtroom scene in Chicago? In the original script she is described as wearing a dress with lace around the neck and the cuffs of the sleeves but I can't imagine that in the revival and I can't remember! She does have a line about looking like a Woolworth's lampshade...does she dress more "respectably" for the jury?

I've never seen it on Broadway, but in the movie and in some other productions, I've seen her wear a faded grey/brown/or black dress with strategic lace around the neck and cuffs, that give the impression of a quaker-ish look (the guise of the poor-but-respectable look). It's very nun-ish or widow-wifey. Past the knees, kinda of shapeless and 3/4 to long sleeves.

In the revival, she still stays in a plain black costume for the trial.

I can't remember if it is the black lace costume or not.
