Chicago - The Musical Reviews

5.5 STARS! SO MANY LEGS BROKEN

This cast was amazing, from their timing, to their energy, to their enthusiasm. Nothing is more thrilling than watching talent at the highest levels do what they do better than most others - the detail of the performances were incredible. And, the band!!... beautiful renditions of jazz-on brass. To sum it up in the spirit of all considerations..."Roxy Hart, to love you and die at your hand is better than to have never loved you at all. Mary me Roxy Hart, Mary me!" :)

CHICAGO IN BOSTON

I saw the play for the 4th time in Boston on Sunday,November4th. It was the best version I have seen to date,Twice in Boston, once regional and one in NYC. Yes, Christy Brinky can not sing,(she held a tune) act or dance, however, she is so darn sweet and beautiful, her looks played the part. John Hurley was a wonderful Billy Flynn, his signing was in tune and his dancing was, well, Billy Flynn-ish. A Razzle Dazzler! The music was spot on and just so Jazzy. The supporting cast was beautiful to watch. They are strong in their dance, song and acting. The jury , what a hoot! That was the funnyest part of the show. My only regret is that Amos should have worn the bolla hat for his song. That would have completed his outfit and added to the look of the routine. I give this show a BIG FAT 4 stars, well done!

CAST WAS SUPERB!

I attended the Sunday April 15 2018 show at the Scranton cultural Center. In short, the cast and staging were wonderful. The SOUND left much to be desired. For a good 25- 30% of the show you could barely hear what the performers were singing. Whether it was an issue with the mixing or the on-stage orchestra was just too loud it marred an otherwise spectacular performance. I will say this was the first time sound was an issue for me at this venue.

ENTERTAINING AND EXCELLENT DANCE

Overall it was a really well done performance. The dancers are fabulous and the lead characters well chosen. The Billy Flynn character was superb and as good a voice as Broadway. Mama Morton was incredible. Slow & dragging a bit in the 2nd act and for the life of me I don't understand why it was at all necessary to rip the wig off Mary Sunshine to show the audience the actor was a male.

AVERAGE

I thought the singing was good. But I was disappointed in the set and costumes. The dancing also left a bit to be desired. For what I paid to go to this show, I did expect a little production value.

LANGUAGE

Why add bad language - no f words but others. Took Lord’s name in vain twice. Not necessary. Amos (Roxie’s husband) was great. So were MaMa and Billy (the attorney). Dancing was great. Singing (besides aforementioned) was ok. Nothing to rave about.

FEMALES SHOULD PLAY FEMALE ROLES

The show was overall pretty good. But I really wish they stuck to having females playing sexy, female roles. Kind of ruin the show for me having a male playing a top female sexy role. Stuck out like a sore thumb being so tall and being a man. Singing was good dancing was OK. There was hardly any sets whatsoever. I don’t care what you identify as, that’s your choice. But I don’t believe in taking away female roles for a man when he cannot play the role properly.
