We bought both the Motion picture and the Broadway original. We never saw the Broadway show and the ambiance that comes from a live performance is beyond description. The recordings however do give a big edge to the motion picture. Several are superior I guess primarilly due to picking really great talent as well as recording advantages and being able to do it over till you get it right. Broadway is far more demanding. I remember the first Broadway show my wife and I went to see back in the forties with Ethel Merman. Nuff said. You learn to love live performances as it takes really great, fabulous entertainers to make it really come together. We enjoyed this very much. The Motion picture DVD and CD are superb. We enjoyed Catherine Zeta Jones tremendously as her magnificent expressive performance and fabulous voice topped off with truly superb dancing really did credit to Mr Great, Bob Fosse. He never ceases to amaze us. He is consistantly something else. Queen La Tifah truly very pleasantly surprised us with a magnificent performace as did Richard Gere who, to be quite frank surprised us. The entire cast really must have had one ball performing in this mangificent production. Why is it all these beautifully talented people in Hollywood are able to sing and dance as well as act? Gere really gave a great performance. If you haven't, please do see it, you'll love it.Read full review
Most of my recent purchases were in connection with the Miss Florida Forestry Beauty Pageant in Tifton,Ga. last month. My sweetheart and three others arranged a skit taking off from "Chicago." Music and flapper costumes were all acquired through eBay. I also ordered a toy machine gun which was a part of the act. One stop shopping provided by eBay is a "breaktrough" service saving emotional truama,gallons of shopping gas not to mention rewarding this customer with hugs and kisses from a bevy of Georgia beauties.It ranks on the order of the ubiguitous cell phone. I have photos of the performance if that will fit into your promotion. Thanks for eBay
I can spend hours listening it, alot of fun to have around. Renee Z has a surprisingly good voice and Catherine ZJ make a really good duo. I never thought Richard Gere could sing or dance. Everyone does a great job in this picture and soundtrack. I only wish Hollywood would get the mesage and make more movies of this caliber.
I bought this CD for my daughter who happens to love Chicago, having seen it on Broadway. We had the DVD from the library and I realized that she knew all of the songs. She's in her quite a lot for her job, and this seemed to be a natural 'sing-a-long' for her, so this weekend, she's singing every song in the collection. I like the phrase 'feel-good' music. This one will be remembered for a long time. Like 'he had it comin'.
Being a musical theatre freak, I have listened to this CD EVERY DAY since I bought it. In the car, at home, etc. Now my 5-yr. old is singing songs from the show. And my husband loves it, too. I'm amazed at how well Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Richard Gere can sing and dance, especially Ms. Zeta-Jones. She's terrific!
