Wopat, Babatundé and Chamberlin to Return to Broadway's Chicago

Posted: 7/8/08 at 2:15pm

The Tony-winning Broadway revival of Chicago will welcome back three of its former leading men this summer: Obba Babatundé, Tom Wopat and Kevin Chamerblin are all scheduled to return to the cast of the musical at the Ambassador.

Tom Wopat is going straight from ACA to Chicago? He must not want to be out of a job or something.

Yeah, maybe he likes continual employment or something.

Wopat has played this role in the past.

I'm surprised they did no stunt Roxie this summer.

It's really disheartening as a devoted "Caterer"/"Cab Driver" (<--wtf? I didn't vote for it) to think about Tom Wopat making this move. Another reminder that the Hurleys are moving out at the end of the month.

Well, someone got a new job fast.

I've never seen Wopat in Chicago. I may have to go back again. Then I'd be able to say I've seen both Duke boys in Chicago.

I saw Wopat 4 times while he was touring with Michelle Dejean (current B-way Roxie) and found him to be the weakest of the 3 leads. His performance struck me as flat. He's talented, no doubt, but I didn't enjoy this particular Billy.

But Michelle on the other hand is breathtaking as Roxie.
