JESUS CHRISTMAS! This was amazing! Thanks for posting this... I think besides Ann, from this footage alone, I can say she's the best Roxie from this revival we've seen!
A terrific character/comedic actress combined with a STELLAR voice... the dancing is not so precise, but she is so much more, that we can forgive that!
I love her different interpretation of it! THat's what makes it good, it's not the same as Ruthie's (the best) but it's funnier in some ways which is good too.
i love linzi, i was in oliver with her about 9 years ago. i can't remember her that well cos i was quite young, but as far as i know she was an amazing nancy!!
well, I saw this show in London just this week, with frances rufelle playing Roxie. Somehow, for someone who has so many great musical theatre credits, she couldn't sing, act, dance or put on a good american accent. A lot better than this gal. guess it's just bad casting at the moment. :P
Well I saw Cabaret, the original 1967 on DVD first and then saw the 98 revival and loved the revival more. ((Hated the London revival, however.))
As for the West End having higher standards? Maybe for plays but I don't think for musicals. Consider all the shows that move from Broadway to West End compared to shows moving from London to New York.
What? Equus and Billy Elliot (which is.... well.... ugh...) and what did we give London? Chicago, Cabaret, Wicked, Les Mis... and on and on and on...
les mis came from London. :P and Wicked isn't exactly that great...:s I think it's true that currently there are very few british musical theatre composers, but that doesn't change the standards of productions here. The standard of ensemble acting in the west end is said to be much higher than in broadway. Also, the 98 revival was essentially an updated copy of a 1993 london production, with many of the same creative staff.I think it depends on the production, really.
Dude! I was there! I worked as an usher in the Adelphi through Linzi's entire run I must've seen this number about 80 times. I still love it, Thanks man.
Don't suppose you have the courtroom scene, she was excellent in that
It's so ironic that she started off as a high school outcast with telicenetic power being harrased by her religious mother to this!

Great performance but for me lacks the vulnerability that I want Roxie Hart to have.

Linzi is one of my all-time favourites. Just a gem of an actor, with an amazing voice. Love love love her.

Great voice, great acting.

God, she really milked that performance for all it could offer. I've never heard the audience laugh so often during a musical number. She's great!
