"Reality TV star Nicole Richie reportedly is set to relaunch her post-pregnancy career by taking to the Broadway stage and starring in the hit musical "Chicago."
Richie, who gave birth to daughter Harlow last month, is tipped to follow in the footsteps of Ashlee Simpson, Brooke Shields and Renee Zellweger as the latest big name Roxie Hart in the show."
I'd rather the show close. It's had a very nice run. Let's get a new tenant at the Ambassador. That is, after some renovations.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
Renee Zellweger was never in the stage show, was she?

Oh my god, I'm gagging AND vomiting....I'm gavomiting
Fear no more the heat o' the sun,
Nor the furious winter's rages;
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone and ta'en thy wages:
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.

"Where's the bottom, where is the honest to god bottom?"
Has she ever sang anything professionaly, honestly where do the Weissler's draw the line?
Perez Hilton as Billy Flynn? Keanu Reeves as Amos Hart? When comes the Britany-Lindsay team up as Roxie and Velma?
...wait, maybe I should stop, they might search these boards for ideas
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

I think this perfect, if they can now get Melanie...Just think of the Tony replacements awards these two could win!

This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Oh dear god, when will it end? What's next? Kim Kardashian as Velma? The Hills girls taking over the ensemble? WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE CHILDREN?! Dear Lord, save us from this mess...
But, really when you look at it, this really is the same as those two going back into Rent every 525,600 minutes.

MrSweet.... I totally agree with you. The only Richie I wouldn't mind seeing in "Chicago" would be "Lionel Richie" as Billy Flynn (how old is he?) At least we know Lionel CAN sing. What's next... casting Melanie Griffith in "Chicago"? ... uh.. wait... that did happen. Oh mah goodness! from RC in Austin, Texas
"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)
LOL, Rosscoe. Don't say that too loud though or certain people will poison your drink. I love the CHICAGO revival and even last year I was a firm believer that the show still had plenty of steam to go around but when they do THIS to a piece that was originally performed (in the revival) by the likes of Ruthie Henshall, Bebe Neuwirth, Ann Reinking, Chita Rivera, Ute Lemper, and Karen Ziemba, I think it is time to stop. So I've joined the ranks of people who think it's time for the show to go.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
They need to bring Caroline O'Connor back as Velma.
Ray, i think that drink was poisoned long ago.

I know statements like these are only made to provoke the crazies, and, frankly I want to ignore it, but... That is such a dumb thing to say. Two talented (and bankable) performers such as Anthony and Adam returning to roles they originated is not remotely the same as a no-talent 2nd banana to Paris Hilton being stuntcast.
