It's just very flawed logic to say she's not a stage actress because she has more credits on IMDB than on IBDB. I'd go so far as to say that most Broadway actors probably have more IMDB credits than Broadway credits.

^^^ Exactly, Mr. Nowack. It also takes into account the number of shows without counting how much time she has actually spent on a given work. You bet she spent more time with WICKED than she did filming some guest spot in a random show. What a silly debate.

Yes, as you already said in your previous posts. We will simply have to agree to disagree.

While Megan Hilty would be a fantastic actress and singer in "Chicago", there are other things to consider when casting a person as "Velma" or "Roxie."

"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)

I think that Megan Hilty needs to come back to Broadway.


Just not in Chicago.

She doesn't have a Fosse body.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I think Katharine McPhee would make a better possibility in "Chicago". I don't see her as Velma, but rather a Roxie Hart. As someone else mentioned, Megan Hilty is multi talented, but I don't picture her either as Roxie or Velma. But that's just my opinion.

Sutton Ross, I do believe you are quite wrong. Ms. Hilty is mostly a stage actress who has done television work. Most of her television work is actually voice-over work, which is quite different from actually being in a TV show.

You can believe what ever you want, but in this case you are definitely in the minority with your belief.

Patti LuPone has 54 IMDb credits and only 26 IBDb credits. Clearly, she is just a TV actress who occasionally does Broadway.

It turns out that theatre legend Joel Grey is also really mostly a film and television actor, he has 68 acting credits on IMdB and only around a dozen or so acting credits on IBdB. This logic really does make it easy to make such determinations, thank goodness it was pointed out to us!

"You can believe what ever you want, but in this case you are definitely in the minority with your belief. "

And I'm perfectly OK with that, as I already said in my previous post about agreeing to disagree. :)
