I have heard about her as Mimi... I wish I could see her. She's supposed to be phenominal. She'll look amazing as Velma, too.

Is Chrissie coming back as Mama?

Here's hoping that they do a nice photo shoot with Sally Ann and Debbie.

I've never heard her Mimi but I have seen some pictures and she looks HOT -- plus she can kick real high too, right Joe =)

Her website is pretty good at keeping updated so I'm betting some pictures will pop up there!

Chrissie has indeed returned as Mama... there's a REAL nice pix of her as Mama and also a RAEL nice one of Sally Ann as Roxie! I hope they have nice pixs of Sally Ann and Debbie!!!! Can't wait to see Debbie as Velma!

Oooo, where is there a picture of Chrissie and Sally Ann? I'd love to have a look.

Links?

I remember seeing Chrissie as Grizabella and thinking she was pretty awesome. Nice husky voice but a good belt too.
