This morning I saw an early episode of The Muppet Show with Joel Grey singing Razzle Dazzle

Awww...I wish I could have seen that.

I saw it on the S1 DVDs (which I finally got around to buying

)

ETA: I found the song on YouTube. There's about a minute of Gonzo first and then the song

Oooh, thank you. I totally love Joel Grey.

haha thanks for posting! He's so awesome & I gotta admit I love me some Muppets.

funky_chick · 05-27-2009, 07:23 AM

Yeah, the only thing that could have made it even better for me is if Janice (my favorite Muppet) sang in that song

That is so great Julie - wonderful find.

Wayward Melody · 05-28-2009, 08:18 PM

Yes, it was indeed.

funky_chick · 07-13-2009, 01:23 PM

Wow, the Muppets must really love Chicago 'cause a few days ago I saw an episode with Ben Vereen singing Mr. Cellophane

Wayward Melody · 07-13-2009, 04:40 PM

Hehe, well the muppets have good taste in music.

I've always been impressed by the We Both Reached For The Gun number. So entertaining.

Just watched the movie two weeks ago and saw the stage production for the first time over the weekend! I'm in such a Chicago mood.

My one complaint about the live show is that I expected it to be more flashy and grand. After all the huge numbers and bright colors in the movie, the stage version seemed so much more subdued then I feel like Chicago should be.

Has anyone else experience that?

It was a different choice I think with the movie and the stage musical. I think on stage they try to create something a little more gritty and true to the spirit where I think the movie was heavily influsenced by the lighter aspects of the time period.

I've seen both the movie and the actual musical on stage...I dunno, I think I liked the movie better
