Welcome to another edition of The Roundtable on BroadwayWorld! Today we welcome Broadway’s Velma Kelly herself, Mrs. Sophie Carmen-Jones is here. She hails from the UK where she took over the West End, transferred over to Broadway in Moulin Rouge, toured in Wicked, and has come back to Broadway in Chicago.
Sophie is now the legendary Velma in the iconic Chicago. We ask her how it happened, what it means to be in this show, how she learned the dances, and was it intimidating to be a part of this cast and history. No matter if you have seen it once or ten times, it is time to come back to Chicago!
