Just a couple comments. 

- the current Velma rarely misses 

- Donna has been going on cause the other understudies haven't been fully rehearsed yet. They're not fully ready yet. That's why others haven't gone on yet. 

- Crazy tour prices.

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

I think either Jessica Lee Goldyn or Mara Davi would make fantastic future Velmas in Chicago. One can hope.

JBradshaw IS the expert on all things related to  Chicago.  Let's just say that he knows "stuff" about the show.

Terra C will return to the Broadway company  as Velma, from November 30, 2015-- January 3, 2016 (according to a very well placed theatre source.)    AFW is working/visiting/vacationing in Japan for several weeks.  No word yet as to the next Roxie after Rumer Wilis.  As soon as I find out, I'll let you know.

I wonder if Terra will then jump back on to the tour since it's supposed to start up again on January 12, 2016.

Is there any possibility that Rumer might extend?  Anyone heard rumours? I'll be in NY Dec 8-16 and would love to catch her.

No. 

Charlotte Kate Fox is the next Roxie beginning Nov 2 through Nov 15. She's cute, google her. 

 

PattiFan. Merci for confirming the news I mentioned a month and half ago.

Maybe AFW is headed to Japan to play Velma in that production with Fox as Roxie?

I would love to see Nene as Mama Morton.  I'm still thinking of visiting NYC...probably the day after Xmas.  I have never seen a white winter (i.e. snow).

I wonder who will be the next Roxie, after Ms. Fox leaves tomorrow.  I'm thinking it will be one of these three ladies:  Dylis Croman, Paige Davis or Charlotte D'Amboise.  I'd be delighted to see any of those talented Roxies.

I was pleasantly surprised to find a little clip of the current show, with Charlotte Kate Fox as Roxie.  It is a  promo for the upcoming show in Japan.  The show is looking good.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQVM2Ed6NsU
