The musical is back and it's first class. Rob Marshall as litten up the screen with a fabulous adaption of the Broadway classic Chicago. The cast is great starting with Renee Zellweger doing a great job in the lead musical role of Roxie Hart. She sings, dancces and acts up a storm. Catherine Zeta-Jones Velma Kelly steals the eye when she is on screen. Her opening number, "All That Jazz" shows us all she a talented singer and dancer as well as an actress. Supporiting cast Queen Latifah, Richard Gere and John C. Reilly are all perfectly cast in their roles.
Last year, "Moulin Rouge" was a brilliant return of the musical, but "Chicago" leads the pack as the best hollywood musical since "Singin' In the Rain". I've watched this at least a dozen times so far and I enjoy each viewing as much as the first. Far and away this is a true "10" rating. Watch it, you'll be hooked.
