- When the smash Broadway revival of "Chicago" opened in 1996, Bebe Neuwirth was its Tony-winning Velma. In 2007, she rejoined the production to take on the role of Roxie. Neuwirth took on a third "Chicago" principal role in 2014, when she returned to the Broadway production to play Matron "Mama" Morton. "When You're Good to Mama," with Amra-Faye Wright as Velma.

At this point I’m surprised she hasn’t done a one woman Chicago show
I wouldn’t put it past her.
She makes a sinister, almost psychopathic Mama, and I’m here for it 😂😍
Yeah you kinda feel like she came from a mob family but wasn’t taken seriously as a woman so now she runs a woman’s prison like the mafia.
her characterisation is so on point; it's exaggerated but there's still a person there. every look and every gesture is perfectly timed; it's a masterclass in musical comedy acting
But when you're bad to mama, death is just around the corner.
I was looking to see this reference!
Those shoulder rolls at :55 in are purest Fosse.
Thanks for pointing that out!
Her shoulder rolls have always been amazing. (See also Bebe as Velma 😅)
That looked like she was almost double jointed in a weird way. And my dogs just looked at me like I was weird because I kept trying to do it. Lol
Yes- I tried to freaking do them and they aren’t (count wise )what you’d think.
Yes- she can do subtle and still and make it so powerful.
I had the great joy of seeing Ms. Neuwirth as Velma twice. I knew she trod the boards as Roxie but missed her turn as Mama. Thanks so much for keeping me in the know.
the mosy gaster watmy to puy om somone
I would have done anything to see her as Velma! 💚❤️🤍🖤
@@fab36254 that reminds of how fortunate I was to see her. My friend who saw her with me still talk about it 25 years later. For us, has become a synonym for theatrical perfection. Oh! And! We took a group of teenagers (I teach youth theatre) and she posed for pictures with the teens at the stage door post performance! So gracious!
Shes such a sinister mama. I love it
My love for this clip knows no boundary.
So glad you liked it.
She's so different compared to the others I've seen but it works really well! She reminds me of my dance teacher lmao
Thank you for the memory! I saw Bebe's Mama and loved her delivery on this song -- sure, the vibrato was a thing, but hey, that cackling laugh was perfect :)
This is deliciously creepy - like Gloria Swanson’s Norma Desmond became a prison warden.
This. Omg. This is the perfect comment
Morticia in a nutshell. Be Be is so talented my goodness!
Her voice is not for this role tre strongest one BUT : she sings perfectly and did find her way, in order to give her "color" to this role. Brava !
Agree. Not for this role the voice
Wow, this is the first cover. Where it actually sounds like she is discussing spicing up pasta....rather than the other "ragu". Lol, I love it.
I l9ve how sinister she depicts.
I love her,,, my favorite roll of her's is Mortica
Thank you so, so very much for this upload.
56. Obsessed.
Her talent is offensive. She is an icon 😍
Omg! Thank youuu for the video! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is amazing! Thank you.
You are welcome. Glad to hear that this is a hit.
She looks the same made up but my oh my the voice seems so worn .
Nope. You must be tone deaf.
Saw her in “The Addams Family “ she was great
Thank you so much for sharing this gem with us!! Do you have her singing Class as well?
Yes---Amra-Faye Wright of course sings Bebe's old part.
aurora spiderwoman Oh wow!! I hope in the future that you can share it with us!!! As always, I speak on behalf of everyone who follows you, we truly appreciate your generosity :)
Henry Wilkinson I second the request! 👏
She is friggin great!!!!
This woman has more talent in her fingernail than I have in my whole body. Wow
If you haven't seen her in anything live.....Go see her in Caberet on Broadway NOW!! She steals the show as far as I'm concerned
I llllllllllllove her, Bebe is definitely too much for any role! 🖤🤍❤️💚
I see her more as Mama Rose than Mama Morton....but always quite the talent!
She has played Velma, Roxie, and Mama.
This was awesome.........wow!
I love Bebe Neuwirth.
I love how so many different types can play these roles. The show is very interchangeable. You have any Usher as Billy Flynn?
I do not, and I would guess he's the most famous person to have played the role.
Queen latifah really owed this role.
A queen
Another amazing piece of history - thanks again! I’ve probably asked before but do you have any footage of Bebe when she took over as Aurora/Spiderwoman from Chita in London? I’ve never forgotten her version of the title song and would love to hear it again. THANKS
Glad you enjoyed. Bebe in "SW" should be coming up very soon, but unfortunately it's audio only.
AMAZING. Very eagerly awaited! Thanks
I’d like to see her as the MC in Canaret
Wonderful!!!
Do you have any footage of her when she played Roxie in 2007? Can’t find any online 😭
Bebe's Roxie is included in czcams.com/video/H4q9CxxHnQ0/video.html
Has Bebe always used a lot of vibrato?
Mc Kenna I’m not sure but she kinda sounds like she’s in pain... still an amazing performer!
It's probably to do with the fact that the role requires something different than Velma and even Roxie. Velma was a very soft almost talk sing style.
She use a lot of vibrato cause its a high song to her
I LOVE Bebe, but I have to admit Queen Latifah owned this role.
넉넉하신 전임 흑인 깜빵 왕언니들에 비해 이언니는 좀 더 지능적으로 사람 말려죽일 것 같아
I love Bebe, but I'm not a fan of this. It's like she was focused on annunciation rather than getting the humor out of the piece.
its in a different key??
This is the original show key
Ummm,,,,not great....sits odd in her voice,,,,she sounds off key
Nah this didn’t do it for me…her vibrato is off putting and it wasn’t dynamic enough
Not good.
This was really really awful.
She was really good in Adams Family but this is defo not the role for her lol
