Chita created the role of Velma Kelly in 1975 (and also played Roxie Hart in 1982 and 1999)...no-one else can hold a candle to her! She stopped the show and earned a standing ovation at the end of this performance...her iconic entrance and first portion of the song are seen here.
(Sorry for the imprint and weird framing!)
i love the change in the applause when she turns around. after so many velma's after her... i bet they were on their FEET seeing HER come out to do that! :)
