Alexxa's Jazz-filled Reaction To Chicago! 

I always found it very sad that the one woman who was truly not guilty ended up being found guilty

The older lady smoking a cigarette talking to Roxie when she was being booked in jail was played by Chita Rivera. Who not only played the original Velma Kelly on Broadway, but was also in the original casts of classic Broadway hits like West Side Story, Bye Bye Birdie, Kiss of the Spider Woman, and more. She's an absolute legend. (And funny as well as delightful. I was lucky enough to meet her once.)

Moulin rouge, the sound of music, Cinderella with Brandy, meet me in St. Louis, the Phantom of the opera the 25 anniversary, funny face with Audrey Hepburn and singing in the rain

Mr Celophane is my favorite, and this rendition is the best. John C Reilly does it so well!

Catherine Zeta Jones really deserved her Best Supporting Actress Oscar for this. Especially doing some of those dance sequences while she was pregnant! In terms of a recommendation, Netflix released the movie of Matilda the musical at the end of last year. It's so good. Its based on the book not the 90s movie (hence why it's english). But the stage show has been running in the West End for over a decade. The music is awesome and the kids are so talented

The Sound of Music or The Little Shop of Horrors are great too!

I've always known CZJ as a dancer first, she's a real triple threat. So glad that this movie showed just what she is capable of.

Awesome reaction!! Rob Marshall did a stunning job as always! Between this and the The Phantom of the Opera movie (2004) I couldn't stop replaying the deluxe soundtracks. I had both on CD. Phantom is equally as captivating visually and musically. I think you'll love it!

Ya Mister Cellophane makes me so sad for poor Amos 😢

My Favorite musical ever!!! Queen Latifah is amazing. The whole Cast is amazing though. Not many people react to this. I’m so glad you did😎

Catherine zeta Jones is a real triple threat! Sing, act, and dance brilliantly

Now that's the way you react to a movie! Excellent job Alexxa. You appreciated it for all of its fantastic elements, the singing, dancing, acting, plot twists, dialogue, music. One of the best musicals put on film of all time. I am an audio describer for the blind and have described 260 plays over the years, and have done Chicago produced by local theatre groups and the Broadway touring shows that are constantly revived. This film beats them all. Catherine Zeta Jones IS superwoman. Renee Zellwegger was new to the singing and dancing and did a marvelous job. Thanks for your fun reaction.

It really is a great one. Fun to rewatch with you!

“In the Heights” for a brilliant modern musical film adaptation.

Amazing, the story of the best stories winning over the truth. Especially with the beautiful polish lady who was not guilty and died for being honest. Tells the story that you have to put up a fight, and a lawyer who knew the exact ploy to get anyone out. The musical pieces in this are out of this world. I especially love "what ever happened" sang by Catherine Zeta and Latifah when Roxie gets famous.

Remains one of my favorite movies of all time

Loved the reaction! If you are looking for other musicals I really recommend 2 classics, High Society starring Grace kelly and Funny Face starring Audrey Hephurn !! :)

You should react to the 2007 movie "Hairspray". Fantastic musical.

Why does 9:01, remind me of Ursala's song when she was making a deal with Ariel?

This movie was released the same year my daughter was born. We have watched it together ever since.❤

A great watch with you, as always! I can't say I like musicals overall. But this film adaptation was huge in its time. So much that had a whole lecture about it in high school, after we had to watch the whole movie. Can't remember why lol I think it was a part of classes on those years in the US, as seen in Chicago.

I love Queen Latifah’s song so much that I watch it over and over all the time! He Had It Coming is anther favorite! I actually bought the digital version of the movie! I love the whole movie!

I ACTUALLY WATCHED THE MUSICAL TODAY ON MY BIRTHDAY!!! Im still so giddy

You should react to Moulin Rouge if you want to continue with awesome musicals by amazing actors. It's my favorite movie :)

When Chicago was first on Broadway in the 70s a lot of people were turned off by how cynical it was. It was very successful, but left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths. The 1997 revival was a huge hit, because by that time, the concept of spinning tacky notoriety into media celebrity was all too common. (*cough*kardashian*cough*)

👍

You should react to the film Les Miserables - the most recent production with Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway. It's amazing. They sang all the songs live on set, not in a studio, and it packs an emotional punch.

Can you do Sharkboy and Lavagirl sure

Hi there

So this "reaction" is basicly a shorter version of the movie

I love the music and cellblock tamgo is a great villian song but i do not like the movie overall. And not just because her ex hubby is a punching bag of a good man.

Why are you cheering when she gets off!? They did not deserve to get off.

This is one of those movies that shouldn't have won Best Picture. I like the movie, but compared to Gangs of New York or The Pianist? No.
