Chicago (2003 movie soundtrack)

4 Ratings: 4.5

Soundtrack for the 2003 movie

The movie version of Kander and Ebb's Chicago was long in the making, but it's well worth the wait. Director Rob Marshall's main change was to turn the classic musical numbers into fantasy sequences, but of course this isn't … see full wiki

It's Chicago.

To be honest, I've never really like the show CHICAGO very much. I find the show too negative, pessimistic, and depressing. Despite this, I will admit that the show boasts some memorable and impressive music numbers and from time to time I find myself humming or singing a tune from the show. The film version of CHICAGO did a wonderful job at bringing the show to the big screen and this album captures much of the musical showmanship on cd. If you like the movie, you will probably enjoy this soundtrack. … more

I can't seat still every time I listen to it.

CHICAGO has finally made it to the big screen, after years of broken deals and broken promises. And it was worth the wait! This CHICAGO stays faithful to the original Broadway show (and the Encores! revival) without losing much information in the transition.Catherine Zeta-Jones is a powerforce as Velma Kelly, the vaudeville star who kills her sister Veronica, while Renee Zellweger displays her musical talents for the first time, playing a coy yet knowing Roxie Hart, the vaudeville wannabe who sees … more

A Worthy Souvenir

CHICAGO, the movie, is one of the strongest stage-to-film transitions to come out in a long time. It captures all the joy and Esprit de Corps of the musical. Because the film is so successful on all levels visually, it runs the risk of closer inspection when the CD of the soundtrack is addressed. Were the musical numbers intrinsically excellent or were they just bouyed up by visual manipulations (superb as those manipulations were!)?Now that the CD is out the jury is in! Here is a disc of magic … more
