Chicago The Musical Tickets By travelmayor The musical Chicago is based on the play of the same name by reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins who covered the 1924 trials of murderesses Beulah Annan and Belva Gaertner for the Chicago Tribune. Bob Fosse and Fred Ebb wrote the book. With by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, it is a satire on corruption in the administration of criminal justice, and the concept of the ‘celebrity criminal’. Set in prohibition era Chicago The Musical, the original production opened on Jun 3, 1975 and closed on Aug 27, 1977 after 936 performances. The success of Chicago The Musical group rose to greater heights when it was revived on Nov 14, 1996 and there have been 4234 performances as of Jan 14 2007.
Act 1 opens as the Overture ends. Velma Kelly is introduced as a vaudevillian who shot the other half of her sister act when she caught her husband with her sister. She belts out ‘All That Jazz’ as Roxie Hart's story unfolds. Nightclub regular Fred Casely is her lover and is murdered in cold-blood. Convinced that the victim was a burglar, Roxie’s husband Amos cheerfully takes the rap.
Back after the Entr'acte, Velma is bewildered at Roxie's good luck (‘I know a Girl’) despite her lies (‘Me and my Baby’). Her husband is proud at her pregnancy and still nobody notices him (‘Mr. Cellophane’). Velma tells Billy all the tricks she's got planned for her trial (‘When Velma Takes The Stand’) and despite showmanship being his forte (‘Razzle Dazzle’), he passes everything on to Roxie. Roxie gets her acquittal and her fleeting celebrity is over. She now dusts herself up and joins Velma to do the sister act (‘Nowadays’), performing ‘Hot Honey Rag’ till the entire company joins them for the grand Finale.
Roxie Hart’s character was based on Annan who was 23 when she was accused of the murder of Harry Kalstedt. It became known that she played the foxtrot record ‘Hula Lou’ over and over for two hours before calling her husband to say she killed a man who ‘tried to make love to her’. She was found "not guilty" on May 25, 1924. Cabaret singer Gaertner made the base for Velma. Walter Law’s body Law was discovered slumped over the steering wheel of Gaertner's abandoned car on March 12, 1924 along with a bottle of

Because that would be excellent.Ezreal @ 01/07/2009 08:35 PM : Re: Medieval significance in Metal Music??? It's a romanticization of knights engaging in epic battles, as well as a heavy dose of mythology. Battles with dragons, Viking raiders, pale warriors with large swords (and often larger codpieces) rescuing scantily clad maidens - all male fantasy stuff. However, like the poster above me said, it is a relatively small amount of metal groups that headed in this direction. They just seemed to have the best t-shirts and album covers.
Kronz @ 01/07/2009 08:34 PM : Re: The Lindsey Buckingham Appreciation Society I don't know the answer to that, but funny you mention The Dance, I've just been listening to the DVD version. It's been 11 years or more since I saw it on TV, so it's kind of like it's new again. The versions of "Go Insane" and "Big Love" are mesmerizing. I am definitely going to be getting the DVD now.lalind @ 01/07/2009 08:34 PM : Re: I made a list of my favorite singles... I am very glad to see some of my favorites on your list as Space, The Flirts, Sweet, The Knack "My Sharona", The Shangrilas and more.
But we are not musically twins :)
