Really scrapping bottom for a "name". I'm guessing Charlotte has extended through April 9.

I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Hello all,
Random question, but does anyone know an easy way to listen to or even watch the "tap dance" number? The one where Roxie talks to Amos stage right and three chorus guys dance with cigarettes stage left? It's not on the cast recording and I'd love to listen to it.

That’s really impressive, considering the stars they’ve had in the show over the years. Jinkx is truly fantastic as Mama Morton and really rejuvenates the production- and obviously seems very happy to do press and promote the show.

Just wanted to pop in with my rush experience Sunday. We arrived at 10:15 for a noon open. Next people arrived 10:30ish. They let us know around 11;15 there would be no rush, but they had discounted seats and would also be selling standing room immediately even thought they weren’t quite sold out. We opted for 99 dollar each K13 and K15 in the orch.
full cast. Everyone was wonderful.

Now, if the show's producers and casting would make the same effort to cultivate/develop a new Velma Kelly, the show would benefit from that for sure.

Any idea how likely tickets for Sunday night performance are to be on TKTS? I've never seen the show and would like to squeeze it in next Sunday night if possible, but full price tickets are more than we can do.

Today marks the 12th anniversary of me seeing "Chicago" For the first time. My first show was on March 17, 2011. I had a chance to see Ryan Lowe, Jason Patrick Sands (his birthday on March 17) and Leigh Zimmerman. I saw Dylis Croman perform as Roxie. She was filling in for Bianca Marroquin (who I think was auditioning for a role in "Evita".). 32 shows and counting! Roman in Austin, Texas

This might already be circulating but for anyone trying to grab tickets for Jinkx's last couple of shows I got a flyer with the promo code "GOODTOMAMA". The deals depend on the show but I was able to get center orchestra tickets for Sunday's matinee at the box office (so no fees) for $99 each.

Good for her! She's a very snarky and self-assured Roxie and played well opposite Lana when I saw her last month.

Also, Emma got cast in the BACK TO THE FUTURE musical, so it looks like she won't be doing the Chicago tour relaunch.
