Yes! A fresh face in Chicago...

Now we just need to get a new face for Velma and we're good to go.

Im sure that this is a dream come true for Melora, did anyone watch her sing and dance in the movie "Lambada", she was a student, and had a math teacher, I think, and he was HOT! He lived a double life and danced Lambada at night, baby, I'd stalk him too if he were my teacher...

I know, I've been busy, and the fact Im seeing Sarah Brightman inspired me to visit the site, LOL, trust me, make sure you watch that movie, just for the eye candy, I need to google the name of that actor, his body was insane.

They recycle cast members more that John McCain recycles adult diapers!

That is excellent news! She can really sing and has incredible prescence. I will definetly be purchasing a ticket to Chicago when she starts!

I think I would have trouble watching Jan from The Office being Roxie in Chicago, even though she's obviously an actress of multiple talents. I'm sure she'll be terrific in the show.

Is there going to be a new Velma and Billy that will go with her? I'm curious because the press release said it was not revealed who would be playing Velma and Billy along with her. I don't know if this is typical nontheatre news miscommunication or actual fact.

i'm kinda with vespertine... i love melora and i think she'd do a great job... but if i were watching her i think i'd be watching Jan and not Melora do Roxie.... but i think i'm like that if i watch any TV actor doing a role... heck when I saw Wicked the whole time i was like i can't believe i'm watching Steve (David Garrison from Married with Children just in case no one knew) play the Wizard..... haha...

I love Melora and I can't wait to see her take on the role. She's so amazing on "The Office", and I know she can sing.

Personally, think she'd make an amazing Baker's Wife.
