If you can't be famous be infamous'. The Chicago musical has captured the imagination of audiences everywhere for many years. The recent film starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renee Zellweger brought the tale to an even wider audience. This album, containing all of the songs from the film as well as eight colour pages with stills from the motion picture, is beautifully presented and brings the legend into your living room.

Format:Paperback
Some great songs here, a great selection and some great arrangements. Eight gorgeous pictures from the Movie, plus a production synopsis with cast lists for both film and show. The music is somewhat complete, with some of the music displaying alternatives, such as "movie version end" and "Stage ending". Cell block Tango is included, with dialogue cues! And even 'I Can't Do it Alone', although parts of the instrumental-dance sections aren't included (i.e. the song is written once through and, not as in the film version, twice through). The movy-cut song ,'Class', is also there, among all of the other favourites.
However, the chord symbols often don't match. E.g., instead of a chord being Bb7, it is written as B7, which is really confusing. And this doesn't just happen a few times - I'd forget the chord symbols if I were you!
A part from this, a well produced folio. Perfect for singers and cabaret artists alike.

This is a very good music book and a does well to replicate the music from the film, however if you are looking for something you just want to play alone with no singer (yourself or another) then this is not ideal: it does not play the melody in most parts of the pieces, as it expects there to be a singer. This being the case, I do not use the book much. Just a warning.
Format:Paperback
Be warned that this yellow book is just the text of the play, although reviews for the actual Chicago vocal score (which I think is great) currently seem to be included among its own. Since those reviews talk in some explicit detail about the musical content and the product description itself mentions a 'dazzling score' I consider this very misleading! I'm finding it difficult to fairly rate a product on the basis of how it was marketed rather than what it is: as someone wanting to play/sing the songs I found it useless, but if you aren't interested in the sheet music, it may be suitable.
