Bebe N blow CZJ out of the water:-) She nails it!

I don't think it's fair to compare Catherine to Bebe since that was a movie and this was live, they both have wonderful qualities but they are different in many ways.

@joannastumbo I think most people know that. But I think alot of people pissed off with all the CZJ is better than Bebe comments on youtube. these people should just fuck off. anyway CZJ is too young to pull off Velma's song. Chita and Bebe all the way.

This video is a favorite on Majuro

Okay, comparing Bebe to Catherine is like comparing apples to oranges, they're different. The movie Chicago was meant to be very different from the show, so Velma is different. In the movie she was supposed to be more serious and dynamic while in the stage play she's meant to be more humorous. When you think about it that way, they both did an outstanding job portraying their characters, so really they're neck-in-neck.

@pudgeuncle I could care less what you give a fig on dear. I could probably paper the White House as well with my playbills and I would like proof that you work in the "industry", and even if you do what does that mean. That you are an expert. My comment was directed at your nastiness. You are clearly an asshole so don't bother responding back I have no interest in any further discussion with you! The only Barking mule here is YOU!

[pudgeuncle]

@ruggerdgmail And dear, I apologize. I know that a Tony for a musical means that you are always a GREAT singer...like Natasha Richardson, Lauren Bacall, Matthew Broderick, Vivien Leigh, Bert Lahr, Zero Mostel, George Rose, Richard, Burton, Glynis Johns, Rosalind Russell, Thelma Ritter, etc.. In fact, I am totally perplexed as to why these magnficent voices didn't have many top ten hits with such high vocal standards on Broadway.

@ruggerdgmail If you think that Ms. Neuwirth can remotely carry a tune, then I suggest that in addition to a psychiatric evaluation that you have your hearing checked. Did you see her in Damn Yankees? My ears were bleeding. She's a stunner and a great comic, an average dancer but to suggest that the noise emanating from her pie hole could remotely be called singing is insulting to the hearing.

@ruggerdgmail The Tonys-An award which gave Best Musical to Fiorello and The Sound of Music jointly over Gypsy. And seeing video does not substitute seeing an ENTIRE performance. And having worked in the business with enough Playbills in my posession to wallpaper the White House, I don't really give a fig what you think dear.

Respond to this video...  Barking mule. You are a jackass. It's fine to have an opinion but you are a jackass. That's my final word on the topic. You might also want to read the rest of the comments on here. I understand nobody can match your expert evaluation of the theater but apparently the masses disagree. Pretentious snob!

[ruggerdgmail]

@pudgeuncle Really. I have not seen them all live but I've seen Nemetz in other shows and saw videos of Jasmine Guy. I know quite a bit about theater and since we are throwing nonsensical moronic comments out there I will say that I have probably forgotten more about theater than you ever knew. Would you like to start comparing knowledge and experience. The fact that I cite the benchmark theatrical accolade attributed to a performer shows that my OPINION is not alone.

[pudgeuncle]

@ruggerdgmail Yes, I saw Neurwirth do the role THREE times, once at Encores and twice on Broadway. Marginal. And if you use the Tonys as criteria, then you are not that knowledgeable about the theater period. And did you see Nemetz or Jasmine Guy? I doubt it so how can YOU judge? Ms. Neuwirth sings like a barking mule and is above an average chorus girl. She's a stunner with great comic timing but she is hardly in the class with these other women, especially Rivera who I saw NINE times.
