That's the rumor...

Jesus, why?

Where the Weisslers are involved, the question is "Why not?" Need I mention Melanie Griffith?

Let's face it, their stunt-casting (and running expenses of about $1.98 per week) has kept this revival going for much much longer than anyone had ever thought it would.

I would SO go.

I thought she was beyond brilliant in TRICK but Roxie Hart, she ain't!

you know I hate to admit this but I would be there in a heartbeat...I think she would be a great Roxie and would be a nice fit...are there a million other people better than her? yes of course but it's the Weisslers so it's not even worth considering

Oh my god! What has the world come to. Rumor or not, it would suck with her in it.

You know, I never properly appreciated the term "hell to the no," until I read the title of this thread.

I would get myself a ticket to NYC so fast, my bank account wouldn't have time to realize it had been overdrawn.

THIS is the kind of trashy fabulousness I can get on board with

[gustof777]

exactly Kitzarina! and Tori is kind of a present day Roxie...it would work!

[PersonofInterest]

Yeah.....I'd totally go too. Haha. Who knows, maybe she'd be good? Stranger things have happened. And if she's AWFUL, all the better!!!

This thread has made my day! Thank you!!!!

Well, when you stop to think about it, the character of Roxie is a woman who doesn't let a lack of talent stop her from trying to get into show business.

And Tori Spelling...

As Yente, the matchmaker, says in "Fiddler", "It's a perfect match!"

Though, I love her show "NoTORIous". It's a camp hoot!

This show just needs to call it quits.

The name on everybody's lips is gonna be....botox.

- Please you need to call it quits with your comments. Sorry, I'm a defensive fan. Seriously, Chicago was the only show that had a big increase in grosses for this past week. It's going strong still. I don't see you saying RENT needs to call it quits. Which is obviously on its last leg, from what most are saying about the cast and production in general.

Who cares if the Weisslers want to stunt cast now and then?

I'll believe this when it happens, regarding Tori.

I TOTALLY called this when her show became a hit.

The Weisslers must read BWW.

And in a way I can really see her nailing the trashy and desperate for success part of Roxie.

[faithanytwo]

Posted: 7/11/06 at 7:17pm

i would see her in 90210 the musical as donna martin.. that would be more amazing.

If it's a rumor, damn.
If it's not, hell yes!

I'm so there.

The newly-hot Tori Spelling would be our next Velma."

I think Tori would be AWESOME as Roxie!

"This show just needs to call it quits."

Why? It's a great musical. Why shouldn't it run as long as other long-running shows? I hate negativity!!
