That is disappointing that people would take back their tickets just because Usher isn't performing. I honestly can't imagine him at all in a musical - I just picture him doing his robotic hip-hop moves

Thanks for that clip - I love Jerry Orbach!

Jerry Orbach is one of my favorite actors of all time. From Chicago to Dirty Dancing to Beauty and the Beast, through Law and Order - and everything in between. His voice really gets to me. I love to listen to him. I was so sad when he passed away.

It's kind of amazing that he has such a huge repertoire of work - I've never really stopped to think about everything he's done!

I think that's a sign of a good artist, or at least one that's not actively seeking spotlight and when on occasion you stop to consider all they've done you're like "wow". I think the same will happen for alot of people who are popular now.

I agree - and I also think that an actor/actress that can do a variety of genres is also really impressive

I need to buy this movie - I've had a hankering for watching it lately. I was just really blown away by all the great performances, but mainly Catherine Zeta-Jones and Queen Latifah. I'm really glad to see her getting into musicals more

Wayward Melody · 04-29-2009, 09:13 PM

Queen Latifah is amazing and to think most people didn't even know she could sing beforehand.

funky_chick · 04-30-2009, 09:36 AM

Actually, I don't think I had ever seen her before that movie as well as everyone else in the movie, besides Richard Gere and Christine Baranski

Gabriela · 05-09-2009, 05:59 PM

wow really? I kneww Queen Latifah could sing, but I had no idea Catherine had any type of musical or singing experience

and I thought she was really fantastic.

I knew about her. I think she had a pretty decent career in Musical Theatre in Wales.

Can I be added?

Wayward Melody · 05-14-2009, 11:21 PM

Yeppers, I'll add you now. So, what is your favorite song/sequence?

macabul · 05-15-2009, 10:42 AM

Pop six squish scene of course

The movie is one of my fav musicals btw I love it

funky_chick · 05-15-2009, 11:12 AM

Cell Block Tango is my favorite, too

Wayward Melody · 05-15-2009, 03:56 PM

Cell Block Tango is always awesome but I particularly loved Rob Marshall's interpretation of it, it wasn't Fosse which I think is a good thing because it didn't seem copycat but it was brilliant.

Could I get added to the list?
Love the movie and saw it on broadway a few months ago. It was so great! totally different. Its funny I watched the movie and loved Velma Kelly, didn't care much for Roxie. But when I saw it live, it def. had to do with the actresses, I fell in love with Roxie, couldn't stand Velma ha
