Maybe one day with bigger names. I think part of it was me seeing it in the mezz and I hate seeing shows in the mezz since I don't feel like I'm a part of the show. The other part I feel is that it's been running for so long that I feel like it's a tired production. Cabaret is my fav show of all time and I appreciated the score, story and everything and it had the perfect amount of change within the show.

"Great news for Carly Hughes fans! She will play "Velma Kelly" for a limited number of performances (August 22-September 4) during AFW's hiatus from the show. I wish Carly Hughes could have a much, much longer run. "
Hughes' is simply filling in for AFW's vacation.

I'm watching the Chicago West End documentary. I decided to look up Ute Lemper and found that she's making a few special appearances in NYC in the fall. (from her official website)

I'm in New York mid December and what do you think is the likelihood that they will get a name actor to replace Rumer Willis when she leaves? Looks like none of the main cast is listed past October/November. I'm looking for something to see on a Monday night as there aren't that many options, so I thought I'd see Chicago if there was someone I really wanted to see (I've already seen the show over 20 times and love it).

https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/UPDATE-Rumer-Willis-Pushes-Back-Broadway-Debut-in-CHICAGO-Again-20150914 Rumer Willis postpones her Broadway debut in Chicago. Again. I guess she hasn't healed properly?

That article states that amy Spanger is starring in chicago when that is not true, because amy is in Matilda now.

Only by a week. It doesn't say why, but her tweet doesn't mention injury or healing. Odd.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I guess the producers can always ask Dylis Croman to stay on just a bit more.

I wonder if she delayed to make an appearance on tonight's Dancing with the Stars premiere?
#813Chicago the Musical Appreciation Thread
Posted: 9/14/15 at 8:29pm
Well, that's just for one day. Is it possible that she needs the extra time to learn the songs and choreography? There's a good chance that she'll learn the modified version of the choreography that is usually utilized for non-professional theatre Roxies. (or as some would call it....Roxie lite).

Rumor won dancing with the stars. She doesn't need the lite dancing.
She was in the audience at dancing with the stars tonight.

I was watching DWTS and noticed Rumer was there too. Interesting since she postponed her Chicago debut again, but yet, there she was in the audience. I realize sitting there watching and actually performing on an injury on Broadway are two totally different things, but, I still found it odd she was able to make it to their premiere.
I hope she joins soon!! Dying to see her in the role.

He's overqualified for Billy Flynn. Deserves better than being one of the countless replacements, but this will be a cake gig for him.

I'm surprised there hasn't been any video released of Rumer Willis as Roxie. By the way, if you happen to see her in the show, please share your thoughts about her performance.

I would love to go back for Jason Danieley because he is so overqualified but I've already seen this Chicago revival two more times than I ever thought I would (for Jennifer Nettles and Brandy) and I've no real desire to see Rumer Willis. I hope he's back with a new show soon. Or an album.

Here's Rumer's interpretation of "Me and My Baby" on the telly. Personally, I was underwhelmed and so many changes to the original choreography. https://www.broadwayworld.com/videoplay.php?colid=1128951

Wow, I've never seen those changes to the ending before. I'm sure JBradshaw could clarify if it's been used before.
