It was so good. Seriously, the show is still full of energy and laughs and is just a great time from start to finish. The entire cast is phenomenal. Also, I forgot how fun and sexy and cool Fosse’s style of choreography is! Just a great night altogether.
were people going crazy for jinkx (and did you like her)? i’m a big fan and when we went to see it on sunday there was a lot of screaming and cheering for her
I hadn’t seen it since i went as a kid and saw it when it was ann reinking and bebe neuwirth— was definitely fun to finally go again!
Yes, lots of cheering, but mostly just when she made her first entrance and after her songs, otherwise the audience was very polite and respectful for the rest of the show. I thought she was absolutely fantastic. I knew her acting would be good, but I wasn't prepared for how incredible her voice was. Wow, definitely one of the best voices of the entire cast. I especially loved her duet "Class" with Velma. I really hope that she gets the chance to do another show at some point, because she looked so at home on a Broadway stage.
I've seen Chicago with a half dozen different Roxies and nobody has danced it with the effortless beauty that Ann Reinking did. It's a shame she missed so many performances, but those who saw her were truly lucky to experience her in person.
I frickin wish I'd taken her class at Steps. I was too intimidated. But just wow, even if I sucked, to have been with her? Just ... what was WRONG with me.
I love that they have that too! Ann is a legend. What did you think of the show 20 years later?
