A perfect musical for them both, Rachel could play the role of Velma with ease she'd be good at songs like All That Jazz and Jessie is perfect for Roxy, I know the show is already running but the contracts run out for whoever is doing it at the moment, they should take over
Jessie and Rachel for Chicago
1 of 2
However much I like Jessie, there is no way she could play Roxie until she's upped her dancing game. Rachel, on the other hand, I probably could see in the role.
I could imagine rachel in the velma role andeven Jodie as Mama Morton but Jessie is not good for the role of Roxie, it requires a much different character and personality and she would have to improve her acting skills immensely.

Jessie is the best there is at the role of Jessie

Actually, I can really see that. She could really use her "defiant" face a lot (and I don't mean that in a derogatory way - she's good at defiant!) in that role, and she has the belt for it.

Jessie is great, but you do realise that Roxie is a dancing role, right? I don't think she's perfect for the role at all!
No no....I think Jessie is past learning to dance to that level. She doesn't exude sexiness either which is needed. Sam for Chicago, I could see that.

rene zelwegger couldn't dance either. lol
i know what you mean jessamy.
They need to be taught though and with some of the best dancing teachers in the world would make Jessie look great, Sam could defitnetly play Maureen in Rent as she could play Elphie in Wicked both parts which ofcause were orginally played by Idina Menzel
Sam would be better in Chicago than Jessie. Rachel would be good, though - I think she's probably one of the more versatile of the contestants.

after i saw Idena perform and hit some bad notes, i would agree about Sam but in no way could she pull it off really or to the standard of Kerry
Maureen maybe, a big maybe.

I prefer Menzel's Maureen to her Elphaba by far, actually, and I think Samantha'd be in much safer ground as Maureen, based on what we've seen of her (and her Defying Gravity to me proved that she's not good enough to play Elphaba yet).

I agree about Rachel. And I think Sam too. When she has grown up a bit, I can see her in loads of the big roles. And she does have something of a very young Idina Menzel about her- It hink they have the same type of voice, so would be suited to the same parts.
Jessie needs to go through drama school now, before she goes for any more roles. Her dancing and acting are nowhere near good enough yet, but a good school would sort all that out and smooth off all her rough edges (however much people seem to like those rough edges - they won't get her a job!).

I agree with you about the dancing, but not the acting, I think she's a great actress

I think it would be an ideal role for Rachel but Jessie cannot move or dance to any degree would she even be able to do the high kicks without falling over? I dont think the big runchy numbers are her thing neither.
