[Laughter]
all right so we've seen our three lovely
ladies and now we need to pick one
person to be Broadway's the next Roxy so
shall we start at the top with Kate well
Kate is very talented her weakest link
is dancing she did take direction she's
an ice age as well and I didn't see the
vulnerability as much in which I hate to
say because she's talented she's very
very talented yes also such a wonderful
spirit okay so then number two was
Khalifa white yeah oh he just got big
stuff she's also very funny she's are
the comedian's yeah what Starbucks bah
yeah no definitely I can't wait to see
her in something I'm not change because
a big presence wanted her smart she's
real smart and she is very gifted yes if
she danced a little bit better I would
have a hard time
deciding between one person with the
next killer this role really ideally
requires that you express yourself in
the sweetness of life you really express
yourself as the dancers or your body
vocally through singing and acting and
that's what you know we're trying to
find the next this is well it looks like
the judges who definitely know Roxie
best have made up their mind after a
long day of dancing the dance singing
the song and doing that iconic Roxie
monologue it's time to bring back Emma
Khalifa and Kate to find out who will
make their Broadway debut in Chicago
ladies thank you for your time your
talent thank you for everything you
brought to the table so these ladies are
going to let us know who our next Roxie
Hart is on Broadway as you came in
individually all three of you grew you
took direction you got better all these
things build trust and that's what's key
especially if you want someone to trust
you maybe take a chance on you
you're a really good actress and a
marvelous singer but dancing is your
weakest part same same with you but you
are a dynamite actress you know just
dynamite and know that I have the
opportunity to give it to somebody who
really can do all three disciplines very
well so I'm going to say it's going to
go to Emma because she has all three but
it has nothing to do what with the
amount of talent that you two have
[Laughter]
I have to tell you something like I need
to tell you this please you guys are too
talented to lose something on a
discipline I know you can do so go home
or wherever you go and dance better come
back to me so I can hire you so
excellent ladies and thank you so much
and congratulations
we'd like to extend a big Broadway
congrats to Emma
Pittman who will take the stage of the
Ambassador Theatre to join the long list
of triple threats in the part of Roxie
Hart after first hearing the call for
entries from our host Paige Davis and
was one of countless hopefuls who
submitted a homemade video audition she
learned she was in the casting directors
top ten semi-finals list on her birthday
and then became one of your favorites
after online voting got her a spot in
the top three during a whirlwind trip to
NYC she saw the show appeared live on
Broadway com rehearse with the creative
team met more roxies than you can
imagine and nailed the audition of a
lifetime and now her Broadway dream is
becoming a razzle-dazzle Broadway
reality be sure to tune in next time and
see Emma get ready for her big Broadway
Bow
