Chicago The Musical Part 1

In the late 1920s in Chicago, Illinois, Velma Kelly is a vaudevillian who murdered both her husband and her sister when she found them in bed together. She welcomes the audience to tonight's show ("All That Jazz"). Meanwhile, we hear of chorus girl Roxie Hart's murder of her lover, nightclub regular Fred Casely.

Roxie convinces her husband Amos that the victim was a burglar, and Amos cheerfully takes the blame. Roxie expresses her appreciation of her husband's thick skull ("Funny Honey"). However, when the police mention the deceased's name Amos belatedly puts two and two together. The truth comes out, and Roxie is arrested. She is sent to the women's block in Cook County Jail, inhabited by Velma and other murderesses ("Cell Block Tango"). The block is presided over by the corrupt Matron "Mama" Morton, whose system of mutual aid ("When You're Good to Mama") perfectly suits her clientele. She has helped Velma become the media's top murder-of-the-week and is acting as a booking agent for Velma's big return to vaudeville.
Velma is not happy to see Roxie, who is stealing not only her limelight but also her lawyer, Billy Flynn. Roxie tries to convince Amos to pay for Billy Flynn to be her lawyer ("A Tap Dance").

[parkguy505]

Looks cool, but Velma's voice is HORRIBLE! Were there really no other girls that tried out that werent better than THIS????!

Directors make the strangest decisions...

@BrettSiinclair True that! It's good orchestra, costume, set, even lighting but the people are all just like "blah! This is boring I'll just bs it for the rest of the show"

[TheDezere]

I feel bad for the girl who plays velma, after all she sucks soooooooo badly.

[iangrapher]

velma kinda sucks ; /

but i love the rest <3

[BrettSiinclair]

you just cell block tango for me. thanks.

[BrettSiinclair]

this really lacks performance quality, its like the people dont even want to be on the stage! and the person playing velma cant hit their notes

[ALilBee]

actually this is the choreography from the Broadway production. its very simple. what makes it so dynamic is the intensity the dancers bring to it. sadly this production was lacking in that. but i agree, i adore the set (reposting because my comment was deleted! )
