The Ultimate Gwen Verdon Role?

Posted: 7/8/05 at 9:29pmBumping this because Verdon is great. More people should show some Gwen love - instead we have 50 threads on Wicked and Rent.

They were all excellent and she was a master of the craft.

Certainly, I think Charity is the role that no one else at the time could have created, but I adored her as Roxie Hart, too.
Slightly off-topic, I think that the way Chita honors Gwen in her show is phenomenally touching. I cried all the way through "Nowadays."
