Eh, it was her third and final return to Chicago -- she was kinda over it by the time I saw her. That being said, my favorite leads are:

Velma: Roxane Carrasco
Roxie: Tracy Shayne, Bianca Marroquin
Mama: Michele Pawk, Roxane Carrasco, Roz Ryan, Michelle Robinson
Billy: Brent Barrett, Michael Kubala, Shawn Emamjomeh, Taye Diggs
Amos: Rob Bartlett

I think Linda Hart may make a good Mama.

Thats cool, CJR!

Damn, I would kill to have seen Taye as Billy!!!

and also by any chance did you see Ute Lemper when she did Velma on Broadway?

Taye Diggs performed as Billy on TV on Broadway on Broadway, but they only showed (sadly) a little clip of the performance.

Taye was wonderful. I saw him several times.... and an absolute sweetie to boot! I think I was actually dumbfounded the first time I met him. The friend who introduced us still makes fun of me to this day because of my reaction.

I never saw Ute... but I'm not a huge fan of hers.

Is Ute pronounced like OOT (hoot without the H) or more fancy like OO-TAY.

Omg, Millie... I've been going crazy trying to figure how to pronounce Ute. I narrowed it down to, "Yoot", "Oot" and "Oo-tay".

And CJR, That is so awesome you run the Roxane site!!! You are really cool, I enjoyed reading your answers too those questions.

Haha thanks. I put the FAQ up a while ago when we had a huge influx of newbies and I was being asked the exact same questions over and over at least on a daily basis. The link used to be in my signature, but there's really no need for it anymore.

As for the site, I enjoy doing it. Rox is a good friend of mine and she deserves it!
