She danced the role BEAUTIFULLY, and brought a compellingly hard edge to the book scenes. (It was delightfully un-Whitley!) I do wish her singing had been less nasal and more varied in dynamics, but the MD may be just as much to blame there as she was.

I loved Ruthie Henshall. Nikka Graff Lanzarone was very good as well.

Ruthie's Velma was a triumph of icy elegance! I believe the NY Times (?) re-reviewed the show either with her and Charlotte d'Amboise or her and Sandy Duncan. (I was supposed to see the latter pairing, but Nancy Hess was on for Duncan when I went.) In the re-review, the critic talked about the sense of danger Ruthie brought to the role--how she was a Velma who truly seemed like a murderess--and I thought that was an interesting interpretation. I truly regret missing her Roxie.

I chose not to see Nikka during her brief run on Broadway because I found her performance as the Whore in the Transport Group's revival of Hello Again very frustrating. I now regret that decision.
