‘Chicago’ hearts Melanie

4 Aug 2003

I had my doubts about Melanie Griffith taking over the role of Roxie Hart in the Broadway production of Chicago, but despite some technical flaws, the Times critic calls her the “most convincing” Roxie he’s ever seen:

The vultures who were expecting to see Ms. Griffith stumble, in other words, will have to look elsewhere for their fix of schadenfreude. “You’re a phony celebrity, kid,” Roxie’s lawyer tells her. Ms. Griffith, on the other hand, is definitely the real thing, with a persona that translates into a heartfelt presence onstage.

Full review here.

Screw the Times! I still have my doubts. I’ll just have to go to NYC to check it out myself. ;)
