My Cousin's Mum sent me this video link today. This is my cousin Vanessa, or Nessa as she is affectionately called, in the original cast of Chicago in London's West End. Vanessa, was the original under study for Velma.
Vanessa is the one singing All That Jazz.
In the photograph she is on the left as you look at the picture on the bottom row, this is a cast photograph with Shirley Bassey.
I also found this link to her giving an interview to ITN News, when she was leaving Chicago.
She's currently on tour in Scotland.
As you can imagine all the Family is very proud of her.
