Jennifer Nettles and the Company of 'Chicago' Perform 'Roxie'

Jennifer Nettles and the company of "Chicago" sing "Roxie."

[sarmadasco]

I do love Jennifer! She sings so well and what she lacks in dance, she makes up for in spirit. She might have found another genre to add to her collection! Good for her!

[jojohaha]

I was so shocked when they announced she was going to broadway because I didn't think she had the right voice or style to handle broadway songs. I was proved wrong after I watched this and think she's fantastic. Not many people can make the transition, especially from country music but I think broadway shows off her voice so much better than country music. You found your place girl. 

[KattGibson]

Great voice, considering she's a country music star, she did pretty well.

[heatheralfano]

I have no idea who she is (apparently she’s a country singer but I’ve never heard of her) so here are my objective thoughts: voice fantastic, dancing could be cleaner and isolated, acting could be more convincing. Like it looked like she was putting on the character, not that she “was” Roxie. Maybe she was just having an off night? It happens. And I’m sure she does a lot better than I ever could so I’m not judging. It’s such a hard and iconic role so *kudos* for being brave enough to take it on. Brava to her!

[KBlayxx]

With a lot of these songs, especially this one, i really enjoy the whole sing/talking. Roxie does this a lot especially in this number. And to see that stripped back and everything sung clean and without much real characteristics is dissapointing

I will love to buy expensive ticket again for watch Chicago

[mikelans]

Beautiful performance. I think the negative comments below are just jealous people

[jouissance]

Has anyone seen any not-so-official recordings while roaming around on here?  Huge Jennifer fan but unable to go to New York.  I'd love to see her do Nowadays.  TIA

[ALEXKAUTZ]

She toned down the twang! But it’s still there. Sounds pretty

[jordancagle]

One of the best Roxie's I've ever seen, honestly.

[amorfm]

Tomorrow night I’m performing this for a cabaret, and sadly we don’t have the mic that you tape on, and my little dance is too much to stay near the mic stand, so I have to hold it. That means I only got one arm to work with XD

Maria León la Mejor Roxie de México y America Latina

[davidpacheco]

I agree. She is horrible as Roxie, but have you seen her in Mama Mia at the Hollywood Bowl. She was amazing as Donna.

[JFreak]

I know this is a strange question ... but the guy who starts at the outer left ... the one with a light beard ... who is he? I think he is great! :D

[CountryCowboy]

Whoa! Reba, then Jennifer. I hope Carrie will get a good acting coach so that she can debut on Broadway next! :-) #countrywomenBroadwayinvasion

THE VOICE OF SUGARLAND ON BROADWAY YES

[timothycicirella]

Can anyone identify the bearded muscular dark haired dancer?  He is the BEST at the Fosse style moves, including the hands.  A lot of time at the beginning he's at the right of frame (but often cut out of the picture), but in the final pose he is at far left.  (Identified: Michael Scirrotto)

[karigonzales]

Is this a rehersal? The lighting seems to simple for this scene

[kayleighbeaman]

I'm honestly not impressed... No it is not because I am not a country music fan; I keep my mind opened. It's just she looks so awkward and uncomfortable in a lot of bits. I've done Chicago, and I have seen various companies do this show, and her voice is too twangy for listeners to be like "oh, I can believe she is from Chicago". I guess I'm just a strong believer in "please stop using celebrities to be your leads when your show is not in danger. Use people who have been working their asses off their whole lives for their shot on Broadway, because people like Jennifer Nettles have already made it."

[AvisWrentmore]

No the audience does not love this performance ---this is absolutely awful. Broadway let this happen??? See it with Ann Reinking and then you will understand.
