She smirked, "Watch this," She said, strutting over towards the roped off section that contained the band and piano. The pianist smiled as she dipped under the rope, leaning across the bench to whisper a song in his ear.
"You got it, Kitty-Kat." He said, telling the rest of the band. The opening notes of the background music started as Kat took up residence on top of the piano.
"And now our resident Miss Kathryn Heckemeyer is gonna sing us a little song. The pianist said over the flowing notes.

Tara grinned at Dante, wondering how the heck she had missed this place. She waited eagerly for a chance to climb up on stage. Dante was just as eager as his twin.

She started the monolauge at the begining of the song, change it every once in a while.
You know, I always wanted to have my name on the papers. Before I became single, I used to date this wealthy dude, ugly bootlegger. He used to take me out and show me off. Ugly guys like to do that. Once it said in the paper, "Gangland alcopaly seen at shade Vito with cute blonde". That was me. You know all my life, I wanted to have my own act.
But, no... Always no, they always turned me down. One big world-full of no.
And then He came along. Such a safe sweet guy. Who never says no.
She paused, laughing lightly,
"I've never done this sober before. But you know, it's such a special night. And you are such a great audience! And I really feel like I can talk to you, you know?
So forget what you read in the papers. And forget what you heard on the radio. Because...because l'm gonna tell you the truth. Not that the truth really matters. But I'm gonna tell you anyway.
In the bed apartment, This guy was... zero. But he keep getting me little gigs, Y'know. Anyway, I started fooling around. And I started screwing around, Which is fooling around without dinner.
Then I met Fred Casely." Her voice slowed on this line, as she leaned forwrd like she had the greatest secret in history.
He said he could get me onto Broadway. But that didn't quite work out like I planned. I guess it didn't really work out for Fred either. So I gave up on the Broadway idea. lf you can't figure out for all of these years, opportunities just pass you by. But... And now, with all this publicity, I got me a world full of yes!. She grew excited at the end every word more and more powerful. She paused momentarily, flashing a smile at the slightly drunken audiance.

Tara and Dante were momentarily confused, but quickly recognized it as being from Chicago. They both grinned.

"The name on everybody's lips Is gonna be Roxie The lady raking in the chips Is gonna be Roxie"
She leaned forward, bringing her arms around her chest.
"I'm gonna be a celebrity That means Somebody everyone knows"
She threw her head back, her hand flying up and pushing back her curls.
"They('re) gonna recognize my eyes My hair my teeth my boobs my nose"
Her hands slid down her body, a flirty smile lighting up her face. She swung her legs around to stand on the black polished wood of the piano. Slowly walking from the instrument to stage she stopped at the egde of the stage, whipping around.
"From just some dumb mechanics wife I'm gonna be Roxie Who says that murder's not an art?"
She leaned back, her hands barely brushing the floor and her head thrown back.
"And who in case she doesn't hang Can say she started with a bang? Roxie Hart!"
Her fingers waggled at the end of the last line, mouth curled into a cheeky grin, waving towards the audience. She started the dance break, every move understated, but at the same time over the top. She moved back towards the piano, crawling the last bit so she could sit on it.
"Boys..."
Her voice just loud enough to carry through the club and over the music, she lay on her stomach, facing the pianist.
"They're gonna wait outside in line To get to see"
"Roxie Think of those autographs I'll sign, 'Good luck to ya',"
She winked, turning back to the audience, but laying on her back almost as soon as she could see the faces.
"Roxie"
"And I'll appear In a lavalier that goes All the way down to my waist"
She sat back up, running her hands over her torso, before she thrust her elbows forward, fingers splayed on her abs. It was her secret tribute to Gwen Verdon and Bob Fosse through her song.
"Here a ring, There a ring, Everywhere a-ring-a-ling'
"But always in the best of taste!"
A laugh took over the line.
"Mmmm, I'm a star! And the audience loves me! And I love them And they love me for loving them And I love them for loving me And we love each other And that's because none of us Got enough love in our childhoods And that's showbiz"
She paused, raising her eyebrows slightly,
"Kid"
"She's given up her hum drum life"
"I'm gonna be, sing it!"
"Roxie She made a scandal as a start"
"And Jenna Maxwell will shit I know
She winked at the girl, hoping she'd get the joke.
To see her name get billed below Roxie Hart"
She relaxed on the piano, drawing her hands down slowly from above her head.
Roxie... Roxie... Roxie... Roxie... Rox-ie... Roxie... Roxie...
She finished, blowing a kiss at the audience.

Both Tara and Dante applauded, then Tara started up to the stage, pausing only to think of her song. It didn't take her long, then she waited near the piano to be sure that Kathryn was done. Dante grinned at her eagerness.

Tara was still waiting for Kathryn to get offstage. She was now vibrating slightly with nerves and eagerness. Dante rolled his eyes and settled in to wait for his turn.

Tori grinned as she made her way to the bouncer. She fluttered her lashes and gave him a hug. "Hiya Big Mike. Hows Trix?" Mike gave a solemn nod and a hidden wink before letting her into the karaoke bar. She hummed softly and leaned against the door, not wanting to move much within the room until Kat was done singing. She had seen her before, and the girl was extraordinarily confident in herself. Astoria did a wonderful show as well, but it was to 'Macavity'. Bomba was her second favorite CATs character, and her third was Demeter. So their duet was one of her favorites in the play. She didn't know if she would be singing that tonight or not, but whatever she sang was gonna rock the house. That she knew from experience, not confidence.
