Dollypop--I'm truly jealous of some of the performances you've seen! Leslie, Connie & Barbara, Bea Lillie...

Dang.

I did get to see Ms. Uggams in "Jerry's Girls." She was electrifying. Her voice, live on stage... ringing out in a theatre, was a revelation. What a star.

"Chita Rivera as Roxie - CHICAGO"

Wait...what? Wasn't Chita Riviera Velma or am I just really confused?

[PJ]

Posted: 10/17/05 at 4:26pm

Chita has played both roles in Chicago. She played Velma in the original production.

[Jimmcf]

Posted: 10/17/05 at 4:27pm

I did not see her, but I believe she was Velma in the original production, but played Roxie in the revival in London and Las Vegas.
