"Maggie Anderson as the vampish Velma Kelly and Danielle Kelsey as the sly kitten Roxie Hart are a pure pleasure to watch. Their voices are strong and their legs are long! Who wouldn't want to be locked away in prison with these two? Ms. Kelsey's Roxie bounces from soft victim to comical killer and back again. Ms. Anderson's Velma struts her lingerie clad stuff with attitude and sex appeal. It's tough to look away when either of these two are peddling their goods, especially in numbers like "Roxie" and my personal favorite “All That Jazz."

"...There's Maggie Anderson as the tough-talking Velma. Her mouth is so deliciously curvy it could pass for a sonic wave, and her walk across the stage is so confident it promises she'll be just as sensational in dance. She is."

"Maggie
Anderson and Evie Hutton, respectively, bring Augusta and Elizabeth to life.
"You stole my husband and left me with nothing but a grudge," says
Anderson, snarling. "If you give orders to a man," counters Hutton
with false sincerity, "he'll find a way out of them." These two
are riveting for 2 1/2 hours, mostly because Phillips won't succumb to the
"first wife, good; second wife, bad" platform. She knows that a
romantic triangle is more complicated."

"Then
theres the landlady, Mrs. Meers, a former actress who pretends to be Asian
and kidnaps women to sell them into slavery. Early in the show, Mrs. Meers
says, "Just give me the right wig, and I can play anything" -- and
when Maggie Anderson says it, we believe it. What she does with the songs
and subsequent dialogue proves it. Anderson even makes the hoariest of conventions-the
villain's maniacal laugh-sound brand-new."

"Along
the way, the Poet meets Lalume, the wife of the Wazir (chief) of police. She's
adroitly played by Maggie Anderson, who hits some stratospheric notes in her
big opener, "Not Since Nineveh." Lalume is one crafty character,
and Anderson, with a Stan Laurel, straight-line hint of a smile, plays her
deliciously. "
