Pamela Anderson To Make Broadway Debut In CHICAGO- Page 7

Just listened to Pamela’s “Roxie” number.  Insane this was her first time performing it in front of an audience as she totally owned the monologue.  She added her own nuances to it and I’m excited to see in a few weeks how she performs it once she’s settled in more.  Vocally, she sounds a bit like Melanie Griffith, but Anderson definitely knows how to own that stage.  It’s quite noticeable how she has the audience in the palm of her hand.

If you want apples to oranges, interpretations of roles, Pamela in this, Beanie trying her hardest as Fanny[those interviews don't help, at all], and WOW, the new lead in Cabaret singing? the title song.You will NEVER think of Liza ever again and that's what's not happening over at FG. I know, wrong thread but started thinking comparisons and got a little side-tracked.

Right? When I saw Jessie Buckley singing Cabaret I almost passed out. Nothing like I've ever seen or heard before. Goddamn.

Amy Lennox, Jessie Buckley’s replacement, performed “Cabaret” the other night at the 2022 Olivier Awards.

I said nothing about the awards show or Amy Lennox. Thanks.

Just tossing that in there as many assumed that was Jessie singing as she led that revival when it first opened.

My good friend and seasoned theatergoer just texted me during today's intermission and (I Quote) she is GOD AWFUL.  Now this is from someone who wanted to see the show for tenth time (or some number like that) and had no idea of Pam Anderson's schedule.  Appears to be a lot of forgiving fans. I only wish her the best.

With all due respect, Pamela Anderson’s run in CHICAGO is “event” casting.  If your seasoned theater going friend is revisiting CHICAGO (which says a lot right there), his assessment is hilarious.  Many of us returning to see CHICAGO haven’t done so in decades (myself included).  A true theater goer knows how to adjust performances per the situation.  Why on Earth did he choose to revisit a show I’m sure he’s seen countless times before (as a seasoned theater goer)?  And unaware Pamela Anderson was performing?

And does your "good friend's" husband work in the area??

Don’t tell your seasoned theater-going friend who is staring in “Funny Girl” when they go and let it be a surprise.

He’ll say Beanie is (and I Quote) GOD AWFUL!

Seasoned theater-goers are so dramatic!

From what I’ve seen, Pam looks absolutely amazing in this role. For all roles out there that she could step into, I am so glad it’s Roxie. 

All her life she has been overly-sexualized and pursued by the media. Just like Roxie. Regardless on if people think she performs it well or not, she will bring that to the role and is a shoe in. 

I’m rooting for her. ❤️

You "only wish her the best" by creating a post to trash her?  Nah, the dots don't connect.

Your friend must really love this show to go back so many times. It's weird they would not look up who was currently in it, but that's okay. Pamela Anderson is popular and looks beautiful, so I think it's just fun casting and a boost for the production.

Well, kiddies.  Tickets sales have gotten a boost.  Premium Seats for tonight are sold out and small amounts are available in the orchestra, front and rear mezzanine.  Tons were available when I checked last week.  Better snatch these puppies up before it becomes tough getting tickets.  CHICAGO just got a new life extension.

This was last night after the show:

Do you think she will extend past June 5th?

Chicago's rush tickets were always easy to win. Now, probably not. I'd assume they sell SRO almost daily now.

My bad. Instead of saying 'new lead' should have said Amy Lennox and boy! did she deliver. Hope the voice holds out.

A title song means it contains the title of the show, not the name of a character
