About Chicago: The Musical
Product description Hot on the heels of the latest drop-dead Broadway sensation - the production that has taken London by storm (featuring Ute Lemper and Ruthie Henshall) is now a sensational new recording from RCA Victor. The Grammy Award-winning new Broadway Cast Recording of Chicago has shipped over 240,000 to date, and the show has won 6 Tony Awards, 5 Drama Desk Awards, an Astaire Award and it continues its record-breaking runs in New York and L.A. Amazon.com Like 1997's Grammy-winning new Broadway cast recording, this disc benefits from CD length by featuring music and dialogue cut from 1975's original Broadway cast recording. Plus, time's been very kind to the Kander and Ebb musical, which was initially critically panned for its decadent cynicism...but that was before O.J. Simpson and, in the words of Chicago's Roxy Hart (played by the terrific Ruthie Henshall here), murder became an art. Ute Lemper can't touch Chita Rivera's wonderfully sex-drenched original Velma Kelly, but, then, neither did Bebe Neuwirth in 1997--and still, "All That Jazz" remains one of the greatest opening numbers in musical-theater history. Everything else here is as fine as, if not better than, the U.S. recordings, and all 23 tracks are just good old-fashioned Broadway gems. --Bill Holdship
