By the way, have you seen any of the "Search For Roxie" semifinalists' videos? My favorite is Megan Meyer.

"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)

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.

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.

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.

Dear God, NO! Not even if I were offered a free ticket.

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

After seeing the video, I would like to say that the judges made the right choice. From the audition tape and to the performance in front of the panel, Emma Pittman shined and seemed to have all the dancing, singing and acting requirements. (She has a previous connection with "Chicago" playing the role of Annie.) The panel was very honest in their assessments of each finalist.

I don't know if this has been mentioned here yet, but Ontario's Stratford Festival is doing a new production of Chicago April - November 2020.
Here is what their website says:

"The Festival has secured the rights to the first major production of Kander and Ebb's Chicago outside of New York and London in 30 years! Chicago is a musical for our time. It's about celebrity culture, corruption, lawyers and cynicism. It's about the power of leveraging all your assets to do the wrong thing. And it's filled with incredible music!

Barry Weissler, who controls the rights to Chicago, is a huge fan of the Stratford Festival and because of his enormous faith in director-choreographer Donna Feore, he went out of his way to allow the Festival to do an entirely new production here in Canada.

The hit musical, which holds the record for longest running musical revival on Broadway, will be entirely reimagined by Feore, whose work with musicals on the Festival stage has transformed classics and transfixed audiences. Under her creative guidance, this magnificent production will be created especially for the Festival's thrust stage and unlike any version of the show you may have seen before."
