Chicago: I need two boys to frame me!

by modernmarvel Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Nov 08 '05
Pros: Great dancing, costumes, acting
Cons: Minimal Staging
I have seen the musical Chicago three times but when I was in New York in November 2005, I saw that Huey Lewis was playing the role of Billy Flynn. Since I came of age in the 80s, I couldn't resist seeing Huey Lewis play the role of the sweet-talking ...

Chicago (Broadway US Tour) at Dallas Summer Musicals 2007

by bob_tomato Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 08 '07
Pros: Excellent production, great dancing and singing, good performances by the top-billed stars
Cons: Mama Morton's role "sung" rather than really "performed".
Never one to pass up the chance to see a show for free, much less one put on by a Broadway touring company, I grabbed the two tickets offered by my boss yesterday and took my wife to see Chicago at Dallas Summer Musicals at Fair Park in Dallas, ...

Chicago: The Show

by murasaki Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Nov 05 '01
Pros: Great music; fun story
Cons: Predictable choreography; too-tight costumes
On a recent trip to New York City, my husband and I had tickets for the Friday evening performance of Chicago at the Shubert Theatre. My experience with live performances of Broadway musicals had, heretofore, rested with touring...

the set is minimal but you still get all that jazz

by njchicaa Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 02 '06
Pros: some superb acting, catchy songs, no distracting set
Cons: the theater is small and you must sit in the back for a good view
I am a huge fan of the Chicago movie. I saw it when it came out in the theaters and dragged my sister with me to go see it the next day. Then I bought it on DVD and watched it about 20 times on my own. I even bought the CD soundtrack so I could ...

Melanie Griffith’s performance makes Broadway’s Chicago reminiscent of a high school musical.

by lkw617 , Oct 02 '03
Pros: Mr. Flynn, strong chorus/ensemble performers
Cons: Melanie Griffith, Melanie Griffith, Melanie Griffith
After seeing Chicago the movie, we were greatly anticipating seeing Chicago on the Great White Way. Our seats were fantastic – sixth row, dead center. Past experience has taught me that the original (whether show, book etc) is most always better than t ...

A Great Production of a Great Show

by M.S. , Oct 17 '00
Pros: The dancing, staging, acting and wonderful score.
Cons: I haven't seen the show with its new star, Jasmine Guy.
When Broadway shows go on tour, they often feel lifeless and regurgitated. There's a reason for that: touring companies don't get the same kind of talent that the theatrical capital of the world does. And while the old rag that real innovation in the...

You'll Love CHICAGO

by signeann , Aug 09 '00
Pros: The music was wonderful and the dancing and acting just great!
Cons: None
The star of CHICAGO, in my opinion, is Charlotte d’Amboise. She’s a tall willowy blond who dispels the “dumb blond” myth by being able to dance up a storm and sing and act superbly as well. I understand she comes by the dancing honestly since both of...

How Is This Still on Broadway?

by grimgrrrl , Feb 26 '01
Pros: strong voices, good band and music
Cons: simple and boring story line, no scenery or costumes, vulgar... and not too funny
I went to see Chicago on a Wensday night last week, and only because I had discount coupons. I heard good things about this show, though I didn't really know what it was about, most people I knew said that they enjoyed it. Based from just looking at the...

Windy City Sizzle

by SLOW , Dec 26 '99
Pros: Music, Lyrics, Choreography, Humor, Outrageously Sexy
Cons: Yes. Women in prison, specifically.
Now, I've been to Chicago (Illinois), and I've been to Chicago (the musical), and I'd probably be hard-pressed to say which I enjoyed more.

And I like them both.

Granted, I saw the musical in Las Vegas, instead of Broadway, but I...

Broadway at it's smartest and sexiest

by caconti Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 05 '00
Pros: Sexier than Sophia Loren
Cons: A revolving-door cast
The thing that most separates Chicago from other musicals is it's unapologetic sexiness. A maelstrom of tight black clothes and dark lights, the piece is a dark and cynical statement on the contemporary jail system and society's obsession with the...

A cynical musical delight

by Vicki , Dec 07 '99
Pros: excellent music and dancing, sexy dancers (of both sexes)
Cons: I suppose you could call the simple scenery a disadvantage
Chicago has wonderful music, and this production lives largely by the song and dance. The scenery is deliberately minimal, originally to save money in a brief run as part of a series of neglected musicals, then as an esthetic choice. With no fancy...

The best and sexiest on Broadway!!!

by caconti Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jan 05 '00
Pros: Dark, witty, and sexier than Sophia Loren
Cons: Constantly rotating cast

Fun With Fosse

by energy81 , Feb 24 '00
Pros: lots of energy, strong humor, engaging characters
Cons: songs can seem long or draggy
This isn't the best show I have ever seen, but it certainly is fun and energizing with a fantastic amount of wry wit. You follow the stories of women in prison awaiting trial for murdering the men in their lives. You see the cycle for 2 women...

Sandy Duncan in Chicago

by tanya_marsh , Nov 19 '99
Pros: great cast, good songs
Cons: not great for first-timers
My husband's brother and his girlfriend came to visit us last week, so we took a weekend trip to New York City. It was her first visit to the Big Apple and both wanted to see their first Broadway show. After much deliberation, we decided on Chicago on...

Bawdy, Sexy, Cynical Chicago Rocks!

by SusanGranger Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, May 04 '00
Pros: Sexy, Bawdy and full of swingin' tunes
Cons: Basically, it's a staged concert
There's no doubt that "Chicago" appeals to those looking for a bawdy, sexy show on Broadway. Fran and Barry Weissler have revived this John Kander-Fred Ebb musical with such verve, vigor, and vitality that it's a visual delight, which...
