Theatremafia -- it just proves I have no life (or know too much about that show... that was off the top of my head)

NBC (Hi!!!!) -- Thanks for the corrections. I can't believe I forgot Michael C Hall and Jeff Loeffelholz... and I forgot Greg Mitchell was an understudy. I suck lol

As for Caitlin and Denis, I dont think they ever actually went on in those roles... I believe Caitlin went on as Roxie on the tour though.

You're not a dork, NBC... just as far beyond help as I am... And this is one of the many reasons why we're friends!

I've been contemplating buying a ticket to this show. I see that Christopher Seiber (sp?) will be playing Billy Flynn during the time I'm in New York. Is it worth to buy a ticket for someone who hasn't seen it? There aren't many options on a Sunday night. I've seen everything else that interests me.

I'd say go for it. Roz Ryan is an AMAZING Mama, Charlotte d'Amboise is wonderful as Roxie.... seriously, go. :) You'll have a blast.

Caitlin did indeed go on for Roxie.
Don't think Denis ever went on as Amos. Nor Jeff Shade...on Broadway that is...he went on for the role on tour, and he was great.
Don't forget Ray Bokhour as Amos on Broadway.

Kerry would be really interesting as Roxie lol, I think she can do almost every role, but I'm not really sure about her dancing.. but who knows?

I'm so sorry to have to agree with that. Gretchen Mol left me cold, and the whole production seems to have gone downhill.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually miss Melanie Griffith!

Haha, well I know a lot of people who DON'T miss Melanie...but I will say that during her stint in the show, the cast had an INCREDIBLE amount of energy (why may be left to interpretation), and it was a very well-rounded cast period, in terms of leads and Ensemble...

Kev, who found Melanie to be a guilty pleasure :)

That's so funny you say that cause I was THIS/CLOSE in taking over the part, they loved the singing but something about my "extensions" being a lil' weak, but Norm Lewis is a GOD, so I can't imagine him not being AMAZING!
