I agree - she didn't suck, but it was nothing special. I would certainly expect better from an actual Broadway production of Chicago, but this one isn't, so I suppose it'll do. Definitely stiff & wooden, like you said, zorbeet.

I don't care for her voice. It's too gravelly & too Carol Channing-ish or something. And I abhor her personality, with her goofy-ass yuk-yuks and garsh y'alls. She mentioned her poor posture in that little youtube clip, and that has also been a peeve of mine.
