Summary: Great, But a few Wrong Notes
Review: I absolutely adore the music of Chicago, and was so glad that I was able to find the sheet music for the musical (especially Mary Sunshine's "A Little Bit Of Good" since it wasn't in the movie). However, I was disappointed to find a few notes that weren't quite right. Just a few flats that weren't put in, but still, it's almost as if they didn't even think to play the songs before the published the book. In addition, Funny Honey has the full first half of the song, but the second half (when Roxie isn't so happy with her husband) isn't included. Also, Billy Flynn's song, "All I Care About" is a little tricky to play in 12/8 time. Over all, a great book, but not quite perfect.

Summary: Fosse Fan
Review: I'm a regular Bob Fosse Fan. I believe everything he touches turns to gold, so this definetly is golden. The music pieces are one of a kind..."Nowadays", "Foxy Roxy", ..."All That Jazz". If you are looking for A vocal selection to sing for any reason, this has a WIDE variety of songs for Men And Women. It'll "Razzle Dazzle" YOU . . .

Summary: The Book Of One Of Broadway's Best
Review: Kander and Ebb, who wrote the lyrics and music to this as well as Cabaret, Steel Pier and many others, are two of the most talented in the profession. Chicago is my second favorite muscial, losing out to Kander and Ebb's dramatic work Cabaret. Chicago is the darkest, funniest musical. The lyrics are cynical and the music is catchy. Particularly good is the song sung by the character Mary Sunshine called "A Little Bit Of Good" which is the only optimistic song in the score and is very much so, being so sacchrine that it's funny. Another favorite of mine is "Mr. Cellophane," which, when sung right, can be hilarious and, when cohreographed correctly, is even moreso. The score is perfect in my mind. "And that's good, isn't it great, isn't it fun..." it sure is.
