LIZA as Roxie Hart ~ Today in Theatre History: AUGUST 8




By Ernio Hernandez and Robert Viagas08 Aug 2009
1975 Liza Minnelli to the rescue! With only six days to learn the role of merry murderess Roxie Hart, the Academy Award-winning stage and film star agrees to fill in for an ailing Gwen Verdon in Chicago. Minnelli will stay with the show until mid-September. Always willing to do a friend a favor, Minnelli will make a highly-publicized return to the stage in 1997 as she fills in for a vacationing Julie Andrews in the musical Victor/Victoria.
