JBradshaw IS the expert on all things related to  Chicago.  Let's just say that he knows "stuff" about the show.

"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)

Terra C will return to the Broadway company  as Velma, from November 30, 2015-- January 3, 2016 (according to a very well placed theatre source.)    AFW is working/visiting/vacationing in Japan for several weeks.  No word yet as to the next Roxie after Rumer Wilis.  As soon as I find out, I'll let you know.

I wonder if Terra will then jump back on to the tour since it's supposed to start up again on January 12, 2016.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Is there any possibility that Rumer might extend?  Anyone heard rumours? I'll be in NY Dec 8-16 and would love to catch her.

No. 

Charlotte Kate Fox is the next Roxie beginning Nov 2 through Nov 15. She's cute, google her.

Maybe AFW is headed to Japan to play Velma in that production with Fox as Roxie?

I would love to see Nene as Mama Morton.  I'm still thinking of visiting NYC...probably the day after Xmas.  I have never seen a white winter (i.e. snow).

Happy 19th Birthday to the current revival of "Chicago"!  It opened at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on November 14, 1996! I wonder who will be the next Roxie, after Ms. Fox leaves tomorrow.  I'm thinking it will be one of these three ladies:  Dylis Croman, Paige Davis or Charlotte D'Amboise.  I'd be delighted to see any of those talented Roxies.

I was pleasantly surprised to find a little clip of the current show, with Charlotte Kate Fox as Roxie.  It is a  promo for the upcoming show in Japan.  The show is looking good.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQVM2Ed6NsU

How strange.  I did post the first message.  But, when I looked...it wasn't there.  So, I posted it again.  Then, the first message appeared along with the second one.  Internet gremlins?
