I had to subscribe for this one. My favorite movie musical. I think it's a perfect movie.

Catherine Zeta-Jones was like 3 or 4 months pregnant when they were filming this, so kudos to her, could not have been easy. You can see how much her skin is glowing, even with all the make up.

Fantastic adaptation and yeah “Cell Block Tango” is the standout. Huge props to Rob Marshall for this being his theatrical directing debut, not to mention choreographing the whole thing. He crushed it. Also man that’s insane amounts of snow for a driving test - down here in Oz during my test years ago I actually had a kangaroo leap in front of the car going 70kmh and swerved to nearly crash into a cafe patio. Still considered a pass somehow but that might be an Aussie thing lol 🤷🏻‍♂️

So this, in my opinion, is the best musical adaptation from stage to screen. This was a musical that they then made a movie of. Fun facts, the original production opened in 1975 and closed in 1977. Then in 1996 they did a very stripped down City Center Encores revival and was enjoyed so much that the stripped down revival with minimal set design and different (but Fosse inspired) choreography is what transferred to Broadway and is still running today in the Ambassador. Anyway, I see a lot of musical theater. Really excited for you to do this one Chicago also frequently tours (it’s touring now) so maybe it will come to a city nearish you

Since John c Riley is in this, so I’ll recommend Walk Hard, it stars John c Riley and he does some amazing singing

The kind of show you typically see on Broadway where the Songs are Made to help the story proceed, is a "Musical". Whereas "a Show that uses already made songs" is typically (pretty recently ¿I think?) called a "Jukebox Musical"... no expert on all the terminology, but... I will share that Hal Holden who taught a class for singing on stage at HB Studio expressed it as "you need to be an person in your reality that has no other way to express what is happening in your heart and your mind than to burst into song." (paraphrased, of course, but close.) 🎭

BTW, what sticks with me (attending as a guest with a friend of mine) was him working with a technically gifted singer and turning her into an actress that portrayed "Audrey" that sang beautifully. That is "Audrey" working through the song "Suddenly Seymour" from "Little Shop of Horrors" which is a round-about way of requesting that Movie-Musical again, with the ORIGINAL "Audrey", Ellen Greene (along with Steve Martin and Bill Murray)... (along with the coolest piece of trivia that links Jack Nicholson with Bill Murray)

I am so happy you guys got to this, I love this musical! I’d really like to suggest that you guys watch The Producers (2005 version), Into The Woods (2014), and Moulin Rouge (2001)! I would love to see your guys reactions ❤️

Andrew

The revival of Chicago on Broadway which started in 1997 is still running and is currently the second longest running show in Broadway history, second only to The Lion King. Also, Simone, the other song you thought was from this is from Cabaret… which you should also watch here!

Speaking of Fosse, and as someone who never sees musical theatre, I must recommend “All That Jazz” which is a fictionalization of Bob Fosse’s life and is directed by him.

beecroft adams

Cabaret is worth watching if you want more musicals.

Justtired

Yes, Simone. The puppets reminded me of the “Once More With Feeling” episode of Buffy, too

Seconded for Walk Hard, it's a great satire on the pop music evolution, very underrated.

Gabriel Garza

This is one of my favorite movies period, musical or not. There is a great deleted song called “What became of class?” It’s a little crass but funny and shows off some great singing and it’s a great duet between Queen Latifah and Catherine Zeta-Jones. https://youtu.be/3lAqKm1GY5Q?si=aX1q96v-jaM0z7Vz

Yeah jukebox musicals take pre-existing songs and insert them around a common theme. Usually the catalog of a single artist (MJ, etc.), but sometimes around a songwriter (& Juliet) or genre (Rock of Ages).

>>164813130

Give Simone at least a half a point. They're both Fosse musicals, so they share some DNA 😏

punterjoe

George, I feel your pain over the driving test. (I failed my first one too by touching the white line while making a left turn). At least when you go again, you'll likely have much better weather. 🤞

Andrew
>>164813130

Fair enough. Sorry. That was off the top of my head. Plus, I try not to think of Phantom if I don’t have to. Lol

Simone's Coconut Squire

Literally 6 seconds before the reveal I was thinking "Simone's hair looks really good today!" so your haircut was noticed.

I have to disagree with driving test at least in the United States. It’s entirely too easy to pass a driving test.

Fernando Alamán

Great reaction to an amazing movie. Little Shop Of Horrors ASAP!

Divinerights

Definitely need more Bob fosse, Cabaret would be timely. All that jazz is a classic.

This is a great bit, and the song is on the official soundtrack. Rob Marshall's vision was that all of the musical numbers were in Roxie's head -- notice that the origin of the movie and all of the songs begin with a pan in or out from Roxie's eyes. This created a universe in which the Class song couldn't be justified.

james repka

In Cellblock Tango, Catarina's (The Hunyak) lines are in Hungarian. There are several versions of the translation, but they all break down to something in the nature of: “What am I doing here? They say my famous (neighbor?/lover?) held down my husband and that I chopped his head off. But this is not true. I am innocent. I do not know why Uncle Sam says that I did it. I tried to explain it to the police but they did not understand me.”

james repka
>>164809271

Seconded. Obviously the title is from this play, and the movie was released shortly after Chicago opened on B'way. Well worth watching. An early episode from Better Call Saul season 1 includes a montage of Jimmy lawyering that is a direct homage to a montage from All That Jazz, with the same background music.

George, the last hanging in the US was 1996… THE NINETIES… Not even 30 years ago…

"You see, INfamous is when you're more than famous. This man El Guapo is not just famous... He's INfamous."

Tyler Foster

A musical that uses existing songs is called a "jukebox musical." A fantastic example of this that I'd love to see you react to is Moulin Rouge! (2001). Seconding anyone who mentions Little Shop of Horrors (1986). There are two versions of Little Shop, the director's cut and then the theatrical cut. The difference between the two is the ending, meaning the two versions diverge with a single cut, and so what I would recommend is doing a reaction to both the director's cut and then the theatrical ending, and you can discuss both in the YouTube edit and stitch together two full-lengths for the price of one.

An Inanimate Fucking Object

PLEASE do some more musicals. I understand there can be editing/copyright issues, but there are some gems out there. A few recommendations: Little Shop of Horrors, Wicked, In the Heights, Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods, Tick Tick Boom. Plenty of others

REDR58

Wonderful reaction. First time watch for me. I still say “nifty” but never “swell” as it was used in the context of the movie. The Hungarian prisoner is portrayed by the ballerina Ekaterina Chtchelkanova who was born in Leningrad and defected to the US in 1992. The “Amos” and “Andy” joke/confusion by the lawyer is a reference to the “Amos n’ Andy” radio show originating in Chicago that ran from 1928 to 1960 and was about a pair of black characters that were portrayed by white actors, sort of audible blackface, so to speak. There was a TV show that ran from 1951 to 1953 starring black actors that was based on the radio show. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Theatre/ChicagoMusical Interestingly, the “Chicago” musical premiered in Philadelphia in 1975! It opened for a practice run at The Forrest Theatre which has been at its second and current location since 1928. https://ovrtur.com/venue/1158 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forrest_Theatre

I saw "All That Jazz" a few years ago and it blew me away. Also seeing what Bob Fosse does as a filmmaker is really neat.

Jesse Coombs

It would be really interesting to see them react to "Dancer in the Dark". Another musical with similar themes actually, but with a completely different feel. I love it as well.

Tom Ekstrand

If you loved this, check out the movie "All That Jazz." "Chicago" was co-written and originally produced and choreographed by Bob Fosse on stage. "All That Jazz" is a semi-autobiographical movie (partially a musical") by Bob Fosse about the struggles he had producing "Chicago." It was Bob Fosse's final movie before dying of a heart attack. The style of much of the dancing is similar to "Chicago" because it was choreographed by Fosse. On a side note, if you want to know how much Fosse's choreography was influential, check out this video that shows how much he invented much of what made Michael Jackson famous as a dancer. It's Bob Fosse dancing in a show called "The Little Prince," and his dancing is set to Billie Jean. But check out "All That Jazz"! https://youtu.be/QUlEBhGgEe0?si=3OjRuX_MM3zE1epq

Oof, as someone who never remembers names despite my best efforts, even of good friends, your "what's you damage?" hit me. But it's okay, I forgive you Justine.

Logan Kerlee

This movie was so entertaining! I wasn't expecting to enjoy this movie very much at all. I thought that this was going to just be a casual, boring musical movie but this was so much more than that! Each of the characters were super entertaining. :) lol, wow, yeah I feel terrible for Amus (or however you spell it)! Breaks my heart that a dude like that was taken advantage of in that way.

Odd Thomas

Some *good* musicals: The Greatest Showman A Star is Born (2018) Anna and the Apocalypse The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

droodly

Not a musical, but a memorable movie from my younger days. Empire Records (1995). Renée Zellweger and that Horse-Water lady! Led me to seeking employment in a record store in my 20s.

Justin James

Please check out some of the films directed by Bob Fosse (who wrote Chicago)! "Sweet Charity", "All That Jazz" and "Cabaret" are all great!

Brandon Meng

Loved this, love the reaction. I saw this movie in theater on a date when it came out ~20 years ago, loved it, and never watched it again until now. Memories. Still as good as ever, immensely entertaining on several different levels. I'm not much for musicals. I really liked Les Miserables, Moulin Rouge! and The Greatest Showman, but none of them are compare to Chicago. If anything, I'd toss a recommendation out for Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story as a comedy/musical follow on recommendation because it's absolutely hilarious and underrated with a million musical references, guest actors you'd recognize, and John C. Reilly is just perfect as the lead. Cheers and looking forward to Dances With Wolves!

Same, someone will introduce themselves to me and I'll reciprocate and forget their name in the same breath. It's a talent, really.

Adam Wetstein

It is interesting is the the Richard Gere character was played by Jerry Orbach from Law and Order on Broadway

AmyJ_613

If you're looking for something similar I recommend The Producers with Nathan Lane , Uma Thurman and Matthew Broderick. Another Musical comedy where the main characters are not the good guys but you find yourself enjoying the show anyway. And as a treat it also stars the other half of the Stepbrothers duo Will Ferrell.

Michael Kemmet
>>165372838

I'd personally suggest watching the 1967 non-musical version first, then the 2005 musical version. I love the actual Broadway musical, but the movie version was such a letdown. I wish they would have stuck to the original cast and not added Uma Thurman and Will Ferrell in an attempt to bring in more big time names. I'm sure that was pushed by the studio.

Brien Kliver

Phantom of the Opera please please please!

Jay Perry

I love all the movies you two wrote before hitting play.

Jay Perry

She did not say whoopy spot. She said whoopty, meaning fun.

Jonathan Eaton

Some more like this: Burlesque (2010) Cabaret (1972)

Divinerights

Imagine my surprise rewatching this reaction after playing KCD2, and George recognising Hungarian from KCD. You’ve definitely played it a lot lmaoo
