Chicago (Movie): Vocal Selections

by John Kander (Composer), Fred Ebb (Composer)

(Vocal Selections). We're very proud to present this deluxe piano/vocal folio featuring music from the movie sensation Chicago Oscar winner for Movie of the Year! In addition to 8 pages of sizzling color photos from the film, this book differs from the Broadway Vocal Selections (00312087) by featuring three songs that have never before appeared in print ("Cell Block Tango," "We Both Reached for the Gun," "I Can't Do It Alone"), and the Oscar-nominated new song "I Move On" written especially for the movie by Kander and Ebb the show's original composer and lyricist. This folio also includes a history of the show on stage, and new editions of the songs "And All That Jazz," "Roxie" and "Nowadays" transposed into lower keys (as sung in the movie) for belters, in addition to the classic numbers "Funny Honey," "When You're Good to Mama," "All I Care About," "Mister Cellophane," "Razzle Dazzle" and "Class," for a total of 13 terrific songs in all!

"Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen. You are about to see a story of murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery, and treachery - all those things we hold near and dear to our hearts." With that opening line, the audience is invited into a darkly satirical excoriation of the American Dream in a wicked and wonderfully jaded musical.

The first role I landed in college was Velma Kelly in Chicago. I played the same character the following year in Birmingham, England while studying abroad. It's still one of my favorite musicals - and to think I had never heard of the show before auditioning for it.

Dan Coates' arrangements in this easy piano book gave my hands quite a workout, jumping between octaves very quickly. That being said, it was definitely in the spirit of the musical with the rag and jazz feel to the music. I definitely enjoyed playing the songs in this book.

This is a fairly basic beginner's musical book. It's great for vocals, but rubbish for piano (I'm accustomed to most vocal selections using the piano sheet music).
