I bought both the the Motion picture and this Broadway original. We never saw the Broadway show and the ambiance that comes from a live performance is beyond description. The recordings however do give a big edge to the motion picture. Several are superior I guess primarilly due to picking really great talent as well as recording advantages and being able to do it over till you get it right. Broadway is far more demanding. I remember the first Broadway show my wife and I went to see back in the forties with Ethel Merman. Nuff said. You learn to love live performances as it takes really great, fabulous entertainers to make it really come together. We enjoyed this very much. The Motion picture CD is superb. We enjoyed Catherine Zeta Jones tremendously as her magnificent expressive performance and fabulous voice topped off with truly superb dancing really did credit to Mr Great, Bob Fosse. He never ceases to amaze us. We always enjoy a great Broadway show and this was a great performance.Read full review
Everything about this CD and show is supurb!! The highlight is Ann Reinking though. She plays Roxie, a role she played 20 years previously, so well. Her comic timing and charisma are second to none. She has a lovely huskey alto belt voice!! She is quite possibly the best Roxie!! And WOW! What a dancer!!!
I loved it. I saw the show and it is one of my favorite shows.

Bought this Cd because I am in a production of the show. Regardless I love the show anyway, and it was an excuse to buy it : ). Bebe Newirth is amazing, wish i could have seen her perform as Velma. Revival differs from the original in some ways but is just as good. Buy this cd and you'll get the razzle dazzle, funny honey and all that jazz!
Case was in horrible condition, looked broken
