i was able to be in the audience on bebe's last night playing velma in chicago on broadway, & let me tell you, she was absolutely FABULOUS! i feel so fortunate to have seen her in this role, live on broadway. i've seen the show on broadway several times since then & no other actress has ever even come CLOSE to playing that part as well as she did. she's such a talent, truly.

I know you wrote that almost a decade ago, but believe me, I'm envious

I saw the movie when it came out, I liked allot. Recently I’ve been watching clips of the current stage production, I’m now thinking what an over bloated mess the film was. The stage production is perfectly minimalist. Thus, showcasing the the story through singing and dance. It’s pure precision of talent and physicality. My hats off to all the men and women who trained to get their bodies and minds in shape to perform this show seven days a week

I kind of feel that's unfair to the movie. If it's over bloated compared to the musical, it was a stylistic change. Unfortunately I'm not really familiar with all the terms and analysis of making movie adaptations of musicals/plays. Lindsey Ellis has several essays about it (Cats, RENT, Phantom). Some movie adaptations basically turn out to be pro-shot versions of the stage because they don't make the changes or use the language of the film (like close-ups, multiple takes, etc.) From what i gather, Ellis criticizes Phantom of the Opera (2004) for not making any of the changes to successfully translate it to film, whereas Chicago did, such as by making all but two of its musical numbers being non-diegetic (in an alternate reality).

I guess I just want to say that they shouldn't be compared side-by-side exactly, as critical success or failure hinges on how much Hollywood is willing to transform the musical to fit the needs and expectations of film.

One of my greatest thrills was seeing Bebe do this on Broadway. Nobody works harder. She was beyond belief.
She's THE Velma Kelly to me! The movie was great. And I know he wrote this tailored for Chita Rivera. But, in modern times, Bebe is it in a Fosse number!

SymphonyBrahms

Both Bebe Neuwirth and Chita Rivera own this role.

Richard Mayora

No one compares to Chita Rivera. Fosse made this a real showcase for her.

Danielle Brodie

she reminds me of those early cartoons from back when they couldn't animate realistic human movements so the characters moved as if they didn't have bones. It's eerie and beautiful.

Chocolate Souljah

Same experience here!

Caryn S

I love how minimalist her performance is. She does the choreography, but it doesn't seem like there is any extra movement. Each movement is calculated and grounded. Her movements stop when they are supposed to. They are sharp and controlled while also being fluid and sexy.
