| Is Olivia Holt among the youngest Roxies on Broadway? Ann Reinking was under 30 the first time around yes? Who else? Ashlee Simpson I believe (I liked her singing on Nowadays).. Also is Olivia Holt the first born after the revival opened? I realize this is all trivia and ultimately doesn’t matter much but I love the versatility, flexibility and longevity of this show. |

| Emma Pittman is probably about the same age as the revival (high school ‘14, college ‘18), so when she was Roxie last year, not much older than Olivia is now. (And she was a year or so out of college when she won the part.) Reinking was 26/27. |

| !6-year-old me saw 26-year-old Ann Reinking play Roxie and it confused me when she said she was older now than she ever intended to be. I always thought a major point of Chicago was that Roxie and Velma had always been able to use sex to get what they need, but now they're reaching an age where that's not always going to work for them, so young actors in the roles (and in the movie) weakens the show for me. | |
