Chicago (Movie): Vocal Selections [Paperback]

Fred Ebb (Composer), John Kander (Composer)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 2003

We're very proud to present this deluxe piano/vocal folio featuring music from the movie sensation Chicago - Oscar winner for Movie of the Year! In addition to 8 pages of sizzling color photos from the film, this book differs from the Broadway Vocal Selections (00312087) by featuring three songs that have never before appeared in print ("Cell Block Tango," "We Both Reached for the Gun," "I Can't Do It Alone"), and the Oscar-nominated new song "I Move On" written especially for the movie by Kander and Ebb - the show's original composer and lyricist. This folio also includes a history of the show on stage, and new editions of the songs "And All That Jazz," "Roxie" and "Nowadays" transposed into lower keys (as sung in the movie) for belters, in addition to the classic numbers "Funny Honey," "When You're Good to Mama," "All I Care About," "Mister Cellophane," "Razzle Dazzle" and "Class," for a total of 13 terrific songs in all!

5.0 out of 5 stars Chicago: A Musical Vaudeville, May 17, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Chicago (French's musical library) (Paperback)

The script behind the smash hit broadway show "CHICAGO!". Complete with original cast list, synopsis at the beggining, characters and descriptions, and lyrics/libretto included in the text of the show. A wonderful play that wraps you in the wrath of two young women, Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly, in a murder scaldal trying to escape with the help of sleezey lawyer, Billy Flynn. A great read and fantastic musical. Availabily my be difficult as it is out of print (I bought it used) so you can buy it from the publiser, Samuel French online from the website by the same name (samuelfrench.com) Thanks for reading!

This review is from: Chicago (Movie): Vocal Selections (Paperback)

You don't need to play the piano to enjoy this book. With 8 pages of picture, it's pretty enjoyable. Plus it has the lyrics, and the different stage ending for "cell Block Tango".
