Chicago

Come on, babe, why don’t we paint the town..
and all that jazz

“Chicago” was awesome!!! And I was just a happy bundle in my seat, mouthing the words to most of the songs. I didn’t realize I’d watched the movie version and listened to the soundtrack so much. Yikes. AND even that was a long time ago.

And who, in case she doesn’t hang, can say she started with a bang?
Roxie Hart!

The cast was great; Roxie, Velma... The dancers were great.
And oh, no one could possible forget Amos aka Mr Cellophane. It’s sweet irony. His character is all about being plain and invisible to the world, and I actually thought he’d sadly turn out to be a forgotten character on the set. But no, at the end, he had the audience cheering for him. I guess he touched our hearts, especially the part in all of us who could empathise with being like cellophane.

.. ‘cause you can look right through me, walk right by me, and never know I’m there.

Even the guy in the movie had done a pretty good job.

It was truly enjoyable. Great everything: singing, acting, dancing, music, props, flow… Lots of talent.
Definitely worth it.

Truthfully though, if you just want to “stay away from jazz and liquor”, don’t watch this. No doubt funny and artistic and really great, it’s dark (adultery, murder, corruption, to name a few) and sensual and full of ladies in stockings and men in tights, … and all that jazz. Stick to Phantom of the Opera. Or Glee, for you young’uns.

Yeah, but did you do it?
Uh-uh,not guilty!
