This is an interesting concept. Brenda Braxon is in fine voice. She should make a return visit to "Chicago" on Broadway. Linda Roginski is very good as Roxie. She's a Chicago tour veteran.

"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)

Posted: 8/24/13 at 2:52pmI would just be counting the minutes for that slow moving platform to face me forward.

Posted: 8/24/13 at 3:21pmWhat song is Brenda Braxton singing at the 1:15 to 1:30 mark? Doesn't sound like any song I know from Chicago. Is it another K&E interpolation?

It's in all productions of Chicago.

Posted: 8/24/13 at 3:30pmThanks. Since it wasn't on the OBC I never heard it till now. (Don't own the revival Cast Album.)

Posted: 8/24/13 at 8:09pmI do wonder how distracted I would be with rising stage pieces, but in all it looks likes a pretty well-staged production, including mimicking the Fosse choreography in the round. Brenda sounds great, as does Tom and Roz, and that Roxie is impressive.

Posted: 8/24/13 at 8:15pmOnce again I'm curious as to why the BWW article credits someone else as the choreographer for this production when they were doing the Reinking material from the 1996 revival.

I haven't a damn clue why she hasn't had more lead roles on Broadway. Here she is blowing Whatever Lola Wants out of the water.
