Hi all. I found this jewel of a audio/video clip of the wonderful Bianca Marroquin singing a medley of "Chicago" songs in Spanish ("Funny Honey", "Me and My Baby" and "Nowadays.") I hope to see her perform as "Roxie" one of these years. from RC in Austin, Texas
Bianca Marroquin sings
She's great.
Here she is in the Mexican productions of Phantom (as Meg Giry) and Rent (as Mimi Marquez).

Think the obvious pitchiness as Meg was intentional, considering the role is sometimes cast with similar singing types? She can obviously sing, so I doubt it wasn't.
EDIT: Just saw the "Out Tonight" and it doesn't sound like Bianca, but it does sound a lot like that production's original Mimi, whom couldn't sing to save her life.
I'm perplexed though because it definitely LOOKS like Bianca, but Bianca sings much better than that. Ack.

Bianca's a terrific Roxie. I'd love to see see her in the show again.
I thought she was perfection as Roxie. Here she is as Rosie in Bye Bye Birdie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iC1GTNn3h4&feature=related
Charlotte's #1 in my book of fav Roxies, but Bianca comes a close 2nd.
