Chicago exceeded expectations!!
by Nancita on 7/14/09Ziff Ballet Opera House The Arsht Center - MiamiThe movie Chicago was one of my all-time favorite musicals. It's hard to imagine a cast who could compare with the all-star Chicago movie cast. This group of actors held their own and made the entire play as enjoyable as the movie. The sets were minimal, but cleverly done; the orchestra placement was creative; the costumes were well done. The talent of the actors really stood out, especially Roxie and Billy Flynn. It was a pity that the rendition of "Cellophane" was so short. Such a strong song should have been given a bigger role, especially considering the excellent voice on stage. The only disappointment was "Mama." The actress wasn't vocally strong enough or enough of a physical presence.
