Does anyone know if Michelle DeJean is extending her run as Roxy in Chicago?

I saw Chicago on Tuesday night and I must say I really loved the show. That being said one of the knockouts on that stage was Michelle DeJean as Roxy. I had asked her at the stage door how long she is going to be in the role for. She said that she was scheduled to be in the role until sunday. However, there was a chance of her extending her run in the show. I would easilly go back to see her in the show before sunday if that is in fact her last day. But, I was wondering if anyone on here knew if she extended or not.

I have a feeling that she did because I feel that if she weren't going to be in the show anymore, they would announce a replacement for her the same time they announced that Braxton was comming back into the show.

This is excellent news. No one does a better "Roxie" (the song) or "Roxie" monologue than Michelle DeJean.

The character is spelled ROXIE, hon.

And yes she is indeed amazing. Many of us watched her go from sexing up the ensemble to becoming a full time Roxie. I saw her first official 2 week run in the role when she filled in for Charlotte a few years ago. And I saw her once again on tour. She is a goregeous and talented woman, I wish she could find more work in other shows though.
