Chicago Music

The music that moved Broadway: Chicago

 There have been only a few musicals in the history of the Broadway that have stirred up such rave reviews and accolades as the Chicago the musical tickets will bring you. The soundtrack is maverick yet contemporary and it instantly will get a bounce in your step as it was conceived by some of the most genius of the composers ever assembled on a single Broadway project.

 You will be in awe of the sights and sounds of the brilliantly crafted musical the moment it starts with the ‘Overture’ and proceeds to be followed up by the ever so tempting ‘All That Jazz’, it was a track as a befitting homage to the well-known speak easy owner, Texas Guinan. The use of contemporary Jazz tunes take the crescendo to a never before achieved level and it is a great incorporation in the world of music. Velma, the cold-bloooded murderess comes up with the following amazingly popular lines- ‘C’mon Babe, why don’t we paint the town… And all that Jazz. I’m gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down… And all Jazz. Start the car I know a whoopie spot… where the gin is cold and the piano’s hot. It’s just a noisy hall, where there’s a nightly brawl… And all that Jazz.’

 Simply put in words, this feeling cannot be explained till you have seen the act being sung live on stage.

 Then there is the ‘Cell Block Tango’ that captures the essence of the Vaudeville, an art form almost lost since the advent of Television. After these two tracks that set the tone for a wonderful evening, in comes the famous striptease number ‘All I Care About’ that gets your pulse racing. It is crafted with the deft touch of an artist and that is what makes it a classic art form than a sleazy sensational number.

 ‘The Press Conference Rag’ is an amazing ventriloquist act that is best watched live on stage armed with the Chicago the musical tickets. You would be surprised that the essence of the classic is still retained in the Broadway adaptation of the story that brought forth the element of the ‘celebrity criminal’ in the prohibition era Chicago.

 ‘Roxie’ is a good autobiographical piece that has a bit of humor added to it. ‘I Can’t Do It Alone’ is a track that tries to imply on the fact that one must try to work together and compliment each other than in trying to pull everyone down, as it simply results in more chaos.

 ‘Razzle Dazzle’ is a class act where all the elements of a Broadway musical comes alive amidst great tunes and beats. And the true worth of your Chicago the musical tickets comes with the final but one of the best, ‘Hot Honey Rag’ performed by the tragically fallen from grace, Velma and Roxie. It is a Charleston finale par excellence to tickle your art buds.
