I've got a question for anyone who has seen Chicago on stage as well as the movie. Are they...similar I guess? I imagine the stage is better than the movie - which is ALWAYS the case - I guess I'm asking if the music is the same.
Thanks!!!

Same music and all that Jazz......1/3 of the women we audition for cruise ships sing ATJ. Double sigh.
and I love love love Defying Gravity. Do you watch Glee? If not, start!

(We also got to take a tour of their brownstone and somewhere, there is a picture of me holding their Tony.....<sigh> )
The movie was pretty true~to~form, but of course they had the luxury of more special effects, etc. which a live venue cannot supply. I enjoyed it, too!
That being said.....there is nothing much hotter than Bebe Neuwirth in fishnets and 4" heels....... her legs go to her armpits, I'm convinced!

I cry from the energy of the well-done show. It just bubbles up out of me and I have to release it somehow. LOVE it.
And yes, college musicals can just rock the house, can't they!
Hee, you mean you do not like the self-indulgent, maudlin Phantom?

Love college musicals!
Phanom....Yeah, the Phantom needs therapy...LAUGH!. AND-to stop the whining..though I do love the Phantoms lair. Fabulous. Especially on stage with candles and haze and all that Gothic atmosphere I so love.
