"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)

Please consider selecting Megan Meyer as your choice for Roxie in "The Search For Roxie".  She is super talented and has a strong, sassy interpretation of the role.   https://chicagothemusical.com/roxiecasting

Mary Claire King (Velma Kelly understudy) will perform the role on Sunday, November 10, 2019 (the 2:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. shows).  This is a good chance to see one of the Velma Kelly understudies shine at the Ambassador.  ACL???

Such an odd video, as it appears to be more based on the film Roxie.

It should be non-equity. The tour that begins in January is non-equity and Atlantic City usually only gets non-eq tours. The recent tours of Jersey Boys and Kinky Boots that stopped there were non-equity.

ACL, are you curious about seeing Erika Jayne as Roxie?   I'm not really familiar with her, as I don't watch any of the "Real Housewives of _______".  Her voice is not bad, at least in the video.

I'm hoping the winner of the Roxie contest will start 3/30 and that they're not paired up with AFW.
