I love the music in this show it's the best music ever for a musical and it's fun and upbeat it's so fun to listen to and to know quickly and they are not hard to forget either.

I agree that this musical has some of the most entertaining songs! The dancing in the film was also really amazing - I love the Cell Block Tango scene!

Cell Block Tango is one of the best parts of the movie IMO

Some things I find in musicals don't necessarily transfer well on screen, no matter how hard you try! Those are always tough choices on what to cut.

It is. There has to be, with an adaptation of any kind a respect from where things came from but it's own innovation.

Yeah - and I find it so difficult with musicals because rarely are there songs that I could do without....most of the time I love every song, so I think those are some difficult decisions that directors of adaptations have to make...

Yeah, I think when they are picking that try to select fan favorites but also anything essential to advance the story but usually that leaves stuff out.

It's true. I think musicals like Mama Mia! have is a little easier because alot of it is production filler, the plot is more secondary. I think it's important with Chicago to find yourself rooting for one or both of the girls and get behind what makes them what/who they are.

Yeah - you can't just fill every moment with the music - there's got to be plenty of room for the story to go on with songs that help it along as well.
I thought they did a good job with the movie I remember watching Catherine Zeta-Jones and Queen Latifah perform a number at an awards show before I had seen the movie or really knew much about the musical and decided then I had to see it __________________

She has a musical theatre background so she seemed better prepared than some others.

Yeah - she really seemed well-versed and very good at what she was doing. She fit the part perfectly, imo. Renee Zellweger was good too, although she was so skinny for the role and had some pretty tiny outfits, it was kind of distracting.
