Is she supposed to be a knockout or not? I'm a little confused after seeing the recent revival.

You don't think Jessica's a knockout?

I think Jessica is very, very cute, and I'd kill for her body! With that said, I think almost every other woman on that stage had a better body than hers with the long, lean leggy lines. Jessica is, as I said, very cute but I wouldn't call her a knockout. I kept my mouth shut when my b/f and I left the theater that night. Why? Because whenever a woman comments on another woman's looks in anything less than a gushing manner, she's immediately accused of being jealous. But later that night, my boyfriend was gushing over the cast but then said that the T&A girl was "cute" but not a knockout, and he found her a little short and stocky compared to the other dancers. So I got to wondering if maybe Val isn't supposed to be a knockout but maybe she's just supposed to have the unattainable "it-factor" to her which doesn't neccessarily mean she's a standout beauty or anything. I'd never seen the show before so I'm not sure how the role is normally cast.

I don't think it's so much that she has to be a knockout. The idea is that people only notice her when she has T&A.

without looking at the program, as soon as i saw her in the first song, i thought that she was probably going to be val b/c of her assets. ^^

she was amazing. her song was my (male) friend's favorite song.

Sheila: They aren't that big.

Val: I heard that, you bitch. I didn't want them like yours. I wanted them in proportion.

I'm not so sure how attractive Elvis is looking these days.

Yes, because the word "she" is often used when describing attractive fat men.
