Saw Cameron Leigh as Roxie last week and thought she was really amazing and about time she was given the role permanantly.

couldnt agree more, she seems to have been understudy forever. She totally deserves the role outright!

what sort of state is chicago in at the moment?
i've never seen it on stage and feel i really should at some point!
whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should

Call me Mr Cynical if you like, but given that the London production of Chicago has a worldwide reputation for stunt casting second to none it seems to me that there's more prestige in being first cover for Roxie Hart than in being given the role full time. The covers get their positions as a result of their abilities. With the leads it's sometimes all too clear that talent was never a consideration. (That's not always the case, obviously, but I've seen some stunt-cast leads who would never have even made it into the ensemble had they not had thousands of fans with thousands of pounds.)

I've a lot of respect for covers. Any idiot can play a single role (and many do), but learning multiple roles and turning up for work each day not knowing which one you'll be playing takes real talent. Someone I know once told me that as a swing he didn't mind whether he went on or stayed off; the thing that really bugged him was not knowing which he'd be doing until shortly before the show.

In my opinion anyone interested in improving himself should not rule out becoming pure energy.

I have to disagree about more perstige in being a cover and the principle of not been stunt casted and all that but at the end of the day,its whats in the pay packet that counts and sure the leads earn loads more.
Cameron I am sure would jump at the chance of having her name on the poster in big letters and people do have ambition and dont want to be the bridesmaid forever!
