First press photos here. She's looking like she's got a dancers body at least.

At her big put-in rehearsal yesterday (both Chita and Reinking were there), she LOOKED fabulous (although being in London, it was a bit of a strain for me to get a really close look).

BUT...

She has real problems with the role and, above all, is quite fragile...needing constant reassurance for everything she does.

Makes it tough to give her much-needed notes (or even professional guidance) because you gotta be pussfooting around making sure that she is secure before you say anything. Not a gutsy Broadway broad, or even a diva. Just shaky.

LOTS of coddling required. Hope it works.

Well, I hope she does well.

The pictures look great. She looks like a Roxie, but we'll have to see. Anyone who goes better give a detailed review!

Actually, her big put in rehearsal is today, despite the fact that they DID have a full rehearsal for her yesterday as well.

All I'm saying is the whole prospect of her ain't looking good

I'm sorry to hear that she's not doing well. I'm not surprised, but I am sorry that she's not doing well. If she really isn't any good, how long will she last? (no I am NOT starting a pool)
