EARLY ACCESS: Chicago

Since you liked this one so much, I feel you would also like Sucker Punch (2011). It's a little heavier is regard to the subject matter, but it has the same blurring of reality and fantasy. So good.

Amazing movie!

Yay! I knew you’d love this one! You don’t know Renee Zellweger? Does that mean you haven’t seen Bridget Jones’ Diary?! Omg we have GOT to get that on a poll!

Just finished watching the watch along. Glad you loved it! They do so many fun things to contrast real life and fantasy. There were several broadway stars in this. The older woman with the “eyebrows”, 2 time Tony winner Chita Rivera. Denise Faye and Susan Misner are broadway dancers/actors. Mýa is a singer that was big in the early aughts. Songs like Case of the Ex, Ghetto Superstar and Lady Marmalade. Renèe Zellweger is from TX and she’s been in a lot that you probably haven’t seen yet. Jerry Maguire, Bridget Jones Diary and Me, Myself and Irene. Oh and I think you missed the joke when Billy is talking to the doctor. He asked if he’d swear in court that she’s pregnant and the doc said yes. Billy said, good. Now zip up your fly. The doc had sex with Roxie. lol. If you look closely you can see his fly unzipped when he walks out. I enjoyed this movie and your reaction! 💃🏼👯‍♀️

Oh I love that you watched this! Of all the musicals this is the one I suspected you would enjoy the most. I've seen this show on the stage in a number of productions, from small local shows up to big West End numbers, and to be honest, the movie version beats them all. Nobody's done a better Billy Flynn than Richard Gere. (Although I was surprised you edited out the first half of his Jesus line!) Also I didn't realize you hadn't seen much of Queen Latifah's work! "Last Holiday" (2006) would be *right* up your alley.

Bob Fosse did both Chicago and Cabaret. It’s pronounced Foss “e”.

What’s so impressive is that Catherine Zeta Jones was pregnant during filming!

Oh this movie is awesome. Roxy & Velma are super sexy. 💋 Such great songs.
