Can anyone tell me when she swings in?

I didn't know she was going on the tour... Maybe I DO need to see this when it comes to my area...

Well, I know she did the Broadway engagement, and I know that the TLC gig is over (much to my chagrin)...

They were running a scroll at the bottom of the TV ads here in Rochester, NY saying "Now starring Paige Davis of TLC's 'Trading Spaces' ". I guess that's confirmation enough...

But I can't find confirmation on the 'net, even on the official website. I wonder if someone in ROC jumped the gun.

According to the rumors, she and her hubby swing quite regularly.

That'd be awesome if Paige Davis went on tour. I know I'd certanitly buy a ticket.

Even if she does not go on tour, the Chicago national tour is in wonderful shape. Check it out!

ckeaton- what do you mean the TLC gig is over?? Is trading spaces done?? It's one of my favorite shows but I haven't gotten to follow it very much lately because I have been out of town. That would make me absotively depressed! I love Paige Davis. I was lucky enough to see her when she did Chicago over the summer (yay! only reason I saw Chicago). But if she's going on tour that's way cool.

Paige was awful here.

She cannot be better than Bianca Marroquin!

Believe me, Paige was one of the worst Roxies I have ever seen, and I have seen almost all of them. She made Melanie Griffith look like Marin Mazzie.

I just saw the tour yesterday
Roxie was definately not Paige, but she was fantastic

That was Bianca...

WTF??

Paige was worse than Melanie? I have never heard anyone state a similar opinion like that. Most people loved Paige, and thought she was a joy on the stage. She had it all, she was sexy, funny, emotional, everything. One minute she had the audiences cracking up, the next she had them effected by her emotional "Nowadays."

Paige was eveverything but a BAD Roxie. She was fantastic. Oh and boy could that girl dance!

ashley0139: the last I heard on this TS was looking into doing a no-host format. I don't think the show itself is over, but rather Paige needs a new job! (probably Joe too, I am guessing?)
I would be sad to see it go too. I kinda dig Barry Wood.

I would def check out Paige on tour if it came near me. She sure does, er did, dance a lot on Trading Spaces.

do you think she'll be in the tour when it comes to Birmingham, Alabama? Just wondering.

"Paige was worse than Melanie? I have never heard anyone state a similar opinion like that."

Actually, you have. I just said it.

Alright, here's my opinion. First, you have to understand how much I am an avid Paige Davis fan. I absolutely love her. Think she is amazing! But, as much as it pains me to say this, I am going to have to lean more with melissa errico fan on this one. While I personally didn't think she was as horrible as MEF did, I was not as impressed as I would have liked to have been. Her singing was so-so and her acting was good, if a little forced. Her dancing was phenomenal though. Overall, I just didn't think she stood out on stage (you know what I mean). But at the stage door she was the sweetest person ever, and made sure everyone had an autograph and stuff. I just SO wish she had been a better performer.

I thought she was a terrific Roxie - and I went in with low expectations. She had her own take on the part and, for me, it worked.

I'm glad you liked her, mallardo. I was just so excited to see her live onstage!

I will definitly have to pick up a ticket if she goes on tour. She is so talented and I'd love to see her onstage.

[ckeaton]

Posted: 3/28/05 at 2:33pm

So any real confirmations?
If I'm taking the ad as a good source, I'd say if you're in a city after Rochester, you're seeing Paige.

Jon...my ex was in Lion King with Paige's hubby so I know for a fact that they do indeed swing and Paige is a big fan of the ladies..
