It IS in the original production (along with a number called "Class" with Mama and Velma) that were filmed but cut but are on the extended DVD as a bonus feature (Class is on the soundtrack through).

I've always said yes the dancing may SEEM a little slow for Chicago, BUT no doubt that's because you've got that choreography to remember...plus it's rather tough choreography contending with the chair (which in Bebe's words) is NOT lightweight

Her name is Bebe

Thank you for the information you sent me, from that I was not privy to. I really do appreciate for the enlightenment to these facts! I say now...Ann Reinking is a brilliant choreographer...one to be applauded! Ann Reinking....solidifies the sterling attributes to her magnificent quality of "Choreographer", a talent in one, that I have ALWAYS admired...like that of Busby Berkley! Ms Reinking must be glad in these accomplishments, for which she has executed with such flare and esteemed value in figure and form! ....Surly she must be aware to take note in knowing.... We have all been blessed with our own talent...and we must see and realize the greatness inside us! The way I see it....One should be content with their own being, and not feel the need to take advantage of their importance to the industry, feeling the superior right to intrude upon that of another's talent. Manifesting delusion of grander upon themselves to be that of, equal or greater talent.... infringing upon to that of another's realm in talent to their greatness! Such as, I have never seen Richard Rogers or Oscar Hammerstein, take on to singing or dancing in their many brilliant play bills of musical's, nor have i ever witnessed Busby Berkley engage in dancing to his own choreography, or Billy Rose, take on the lead character to his many dance and routines of choreography.... A person of talent, is humble to maintain to that which is their domain.... In my opinion, I believe, that when one who see's the importance of themselves in illusion... To take upon themselves, the embodiment in equality upon the talent to that of another's... Truly portrays a personification, to their self-egotism...Rendering a display in imagery, to their demise!

@@janenelove891 Ann Reinking took over the role of Roxie in the original Broadway Production of Chicago, for which her partner Bob Fosse was the original choreographer. This 1996 production of Chicago started off as a concert production that did very well and transferred to Broadway. Ann was a natural choice to bring on as Roxie and to choreograph the show in the style of her late partner, whose choreography she only replicated for the final two numbers, including this one.

right? thats what i said!
