Her acting and singing were very good. The audience was definitely with her and supportive of her throughout, which was fantastic to see. Her Roxie monologue was her best number and she sold it extremely well. The dancing left a lot to be desired though - she didn't do all of the choreography in Me and My Baby and her Hot Honey Rag was tentative and it seemed like she relied on her costar a lot instead of having the confidence in herself to pull of the dance moves (which I am sure she is highly capable of doing). Nevertheless, I had a fantastic time and am thrilled to have caught her as I am a huge fan of hers from her Melrose Place days back in the late 90s. I'm very sorry to hear that she has been missing so many performances, but I'm grateful that I live here am able to be flexible as to when I can see it, as opposed to the tourists who are only here for a few days.

The delightful (and fellow Texan) Dylis Croman is returning as Roxie from November 11th (my birthday) to November 24.
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' 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)

Today, I turned 63 (ugh). I was born on November 11, 1961 in Laredo, Texas. I hope to visit NYC sometime in December.

Raymond Bokhour is out of Chicago until further notice. Red Concepcion was called back into the show last night and will cover the role for the next two weeks. With Joseph London on vacation, Denny Paschall was playing Amos since Monday. London played Amos all last weekend.

Chicago is the lone Broadway show performing on Thanksgiving. Some of the cast took to their IGs to vent and say they're scheduled to do 14 shows in ten days without a day off.

They’re lucky to be employed. Like Mitzi Gaynor told future actor Tim Bagley when he was one of her dancers in the 1970s and he wasn’t feeling good and wanted a day off: “honey, we’re performers, we hunker thru but we don’t take a day off - the show still goes on.”

Chicago did sellout their show tonight. A friend grabbed a SRO ticket after the parade as he's staying in NYC for the weekend. Not bad considering the show has only one (D-list) name in it.

What is happening at Chicago? Haley Swindal was called in yesterday to cover "Mama" for the weekend. Red Concepcion is still covering Amos. Thursday saw Sharon Moore somehow doing a split track of June and Annie. Rachel Schur was Mama on Thursday with Kristen Faith Oei as Velma. Chelsea James covered Hunyak that night.
