4.0 out of 5 stars Toe Tapping music - but disappointing DVD!, February 8, 2007

By

This review is from: Chicago: The 10th Anniversary Edition (Audio CD)

Having misplaced my original CD, I saw this on Amazon and decided to buy it. I was particularly excited about the prospect of seeing some of the songs recorded from stage productions.

CD1 is the same as the Cast Recording that I purchased before.

CD2 was a bit of "fun". It was interesting to hear the songs that were cut from the "new" show and it's not a great leap of the imagination to see why they probably were. It was also interesting to hear other peoples renditions of various songs from the show. Especially people like Liza Minelli, Melanie Griffith and even Linda Carter (yes, our very own "Wonder Woman").......

While I love the show and the music of "Chicago", I have to say I was disappointed by the DVD in this set. The feature about the re-opening of Chicago, was informative, but would have been better if intersperced with clips from the show(s) or even rehersals. The section that I was most excited about, the stage numbers of "All That Jazz", "All I Care About" and "When You're Good To Mama", were not the entire numbers recorded from a stage production......nor were they in English! There were clips from various productions (Japan, Germany...and a few others) all edited together to give the viewer a brief "taste" of the song in different languages.

I would have been much happier with the 3 songs, recorded from the stage production, sung in their entirity, in English.

That is the only bad thing I have to say about this set.

Definitely a buy for huge "Chicago" fans only. For the more casual admirer, go and buy the original cast recording album.....you'll be just as happy!

5.0 out of 5 stars the new Razzle Dazzle, January 23, 2007

This review is from: Chicago: The 10th Anniversary Edition (Audio CD)

It is unfortunate that the previous reviewer (who disliked this boxed set so much he reviewed it twice) did not read the product description first to understand what he was buying. Yes, this celebration of the tenth anniversary of the revival of CHICAGO does include the original CD; those who own that disk and have only a casual interest in the show may not want to purchase this. But for less than twice the price of the single CD, this set offers a taste of the many stars who have done turns in this production since it opened (including the original 1975 production), both on Broadway and around the world, plus a DVD of interviews with those involved in the production, and a booklet full of other goodies. Perhaps no one NEEDS a version of "All That Jazz" in German, but what fun! If you can't distinguish Brooke Shield from Ann Reinking or Liza Minelli from Bebe Neuwirth, by all means don't buy this boxed set. But if you want to catch some of the razzle-dazzle you may have missed, enjoy!
