I always wondered how she was as a Velma.
Look no further than the archive reviews right here on Talking Broadway.
"Mamie Duncan-Gibbs is a revelation; a brash and sultry Velma Kelly who knows how to play the game, but who never gets a break. Imagine a young Eartha Kitt with attitude to spare, a voice that shakes the rafters, and the most gorgeous pair of legs on Broadway. Imagine a young Tina Turner, who dances as if Fosse's choreography were second nature to her, hell-bent on making sure you will remember no other rendition of "All That Jazz" but hers. Imagine - but, why imagine anything? See it for yourself. Mamie Duncan-Gibbs is giving the kind of triumphant performance that legends are made of."
I saw it, and this is a pretty good description. |
