Chicago DVD Cover (Miramax)

Chicago, The Musical

"With the right song and dance, you can get away with murder"

Synopsis: The original was named 'Roxie Hart' with Ginger Rogers but this is an adaptation of Bob Fosse's 1975 Broadway musical version. Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones are beautifully matched as Jazz Age vixens set in the 1920's when crimes of passion result in celebrity headlines, nightclub sensation Velma Kelly (Zeta-Jones) and spotlight-seeking Roxie Hart (Zellweger) both find themselves sharing space on Chicago's famed Murderess Row!

* Typical Song, Dance, Act film. Richard Gere gleefully sheds his customary cool to do some Tap Dancin'. The 'Cell Block Tango scene was the best dance scene in the entire film However sexy Catherine-Zeta Jones does some great dancing as well in the opening scene. This is a fun film overall and can be very intoxicating at times.

Winner of six Academy Awards(R) (2003) including Best Picture
