Longtime "Chicago" swing Sharon Moore is now the second "Mama Morton" understudy...the first one being Donna Marie Asbury.

Sharon's played Mama before, she understudied the role in the 90s and went on.
It's ashame Sharon has never understudied Velma on Broadway. She was a tour Velma understudy and performed the role.
I always love me some Sharon.

I've been lucky enough to have seen Moore in all 5 of my visits to Chicago. Couldn't tell you what role she played every time, but she's had great energy all 5 times.
A Chorus Line played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013.

The current Chicago cast list...according to Playbill Vault. The role of Mary Sunshine is being played by C. Newcomer, while Ryan Lowe is taking his Hawaiian vacation. Plus, Nicole Bridgewater is listed with the cast. I guess she had gone on vacation too.

For the person asking about rush, I rushed it the past Sunday for the evening performance. I showed up when box office opened and there were already about 50 people there, I assume because it opened at 12 on a Sunday? Anyway I got front row on the very far right. Not a bad seat and especially with so many people ahead of me.

Anyone seen "COVERS"? Jason Patrick Sands has surely turned into a big ole' HUNK. I don't remember him being that beefy. I guess Fosse does a body good!
I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

There was a point where he got really buff, there was even a thread about it, he was huge!

Or maybe he's always looked like that, LOL. Yummy nonetheless.
