I was wondering when an established show would try this again. I vaguely remember seeing the series related to Grease...which ultimately highlighted Laura Osnes and Max Crumm. In the past, I wondered if "Chicago" would have this type of casting call. The only drawback is that Roxies usually have a short term contract, as opposed to leads in other shows.
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)
