Annotation

in this number, “Roxie’s press conference turns into a ventriloquist act, with Billy dictating a new version of the truth (“We Both Reached for the Gun”) to the reporters while Roxie mouths the words.” – it’s actually Billy Flynn who answers the reporters’ questions mimicking Roxie Hart's voice, while she mouths his words.
