This is a very good analysis, AlanScott. While I understand where you are coming from, I do not entirely agree on your point regarding Cheech; As someone who never saw the movie, I clearly understood Cheech's motivation in not wanting Olive to "open" in the role. Also regarding Marin Mazzie, I thought she was sensational, but I also thought her costumes (and wigs) enveloped her and worked against her. Perhaps that is why you felt she was a supremely competent understudy. I agree about Karen Ziemba- she was a delight and brightened the show. Where I disagree, is from where I sat, she looked very age appropriate. It was a thrill to see Jim Borstelmann ( who I fists saw as a dancer in the original cast of Chicago) grow as a performer and shine in a variety of featured parts. I do hope while the show is in previews, the creative team is rethinking the ending (the ending reminded me of City Of Angels, where the show as a whole was great, but the show h just sorted of ended in a fashion not so satisfying),
