Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre Chicago Musical tickets

Chicago the musical will be gracing the Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre stage from June 15-20, 2010 for a total of 8 performances! Ticket King has tickets available for as low as $60.00 each in the balcony section. Chicago musical tickets will go fast at the Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre, so buy your tickets today!

The musical Chicago is based on a play by the same name from 1926 written by a reporter named Maurine Dallas Watkins. Watkins wrote the play about actual crimes she had reported on. The story follows Velma Kelly, a vaudevillian, and Roxie Hart, who dreams of being famous. Velma kills her husband and sister when she finds them in bed together and goes to jail. Roxie kills murders her lover. The term "celebrity criminal" is what ensues when lawyer Billy Flynn changes the 'storyline' and gets Velma, and later, Roxie into the newspaper headlines after he "Razzle Dazzle"'s the press and community.

The Broadway rendition of the play opened in 1975, after many years of asking Watkins for the rights to make the play a musical. As Watkins had grown older, she became a born-again Christian and thought the play glamorized the style of living that the play portrays. After Watkins passed away in 1969, the rights were sold to Richard Fryer, Gwen Verdon and Bob Fosse. John Kander wrote the music for the Broadway version and Fred Ebb wrote the lyrics.

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has played Roxie Hart in the London production, and I believe she reprised her role as Roxie for the Chicago production. In past productions, such names as Jerry Springer and David Hasselhoff have played Billy Flynn.

In 2002, Chicago was made into a major motion picture with a star cast: Renee Zellweger, Richard Gere, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Queen Latifah and John C Reilly. I have never seen the musical, but I have seen the movie, and LOVE IT! The songs are very fun to listen to, and the story is very intriguing-done in a vaudeville way. I am a huge fan of musicals-so it doesn't surprise me that I liked this movie. The movie is filmed in a old-fashioned movie way, here it's basically like watching it on a stage. I would see Chicago the musical in a heart beat if it came to a city near me! If you're a big fan (or small fan) of musicals, you should definitely put Chicago on your MUST SEE Musical list! Buy your Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre Chicago musical tickets now!

Razzle Dazzle lyrics

BAILIFF(Spoken)
Mr. Flynn, his honor is here

BILLY(Spoken)
Thank you. Just a moment.
You ready?

ROXIE(Spoken)
Oh Billy, I'm scared.

BILLY(Spoken)
Roxie, you got nothing to worry about.
It's all a circus, kid. A three ring circus.
These trials- the wholeworld- all show business.
But kid, you're working with a star, the biggest!

(Singing)
Give 'em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle Dazzle 'em
Give 'em an act with lots of flash in it
And the reaction will be passionate
Give 'em the old hocus pocus
Bead and feather 'em
How can they see with sequins in their eyes?

What if your hinges all are rusting?
What if, in fact, you're just disgusting?

Razzle dazzle 'em
And they;ll never catch wise!

Give 'em the old Razzle Dazzle

BILLY AND COMPANY
Razzle dazzle 'em
Give 'em a show that's so splendiferous

BILLY
Row after row will crow vociferous

BILLY AND COMPANY
Give 'em the old flim flam flummox
Fool and fracture 'em

BILLY
How can they hear the truth above the roar?

BILLY AND COMPANY
Throw 'em a fake and a finagle
They'll never know you're just a bagel,

BILLY
Razzle dazzle 'em
And they'll beg you for more!

BILLY AND COMPANY
Give 'em the old double whammy
Daze and dizzy 'em
Back since the days of old Methuselah
Everyone loves the big bambooz-a-ler

Give 'em the old three ring circus
Stun and stagger 'em
When you're in trouble, go into your dance

Though you are stiffer than a girder
They'll let you get away with murder
Razzle dazzle 'em
And you've got a romance

COMPANY(The same time as BILLY's)
Give 'em the old
Razzle Dazzle

BILLY
Give 'em the old Razzle Dazzle
Razzle dazzle 'em
Show 'em the first rate sorceror you are
Long as you keep 'em way off balance
How can they spot you've got no talent
Razzle Dazzle 'em

BILLY AND COMPANY
Razzle Dazzle 'em
Razzle Dazzle 'em

And they'll make you a star!

Superstar lyrics:

VOICE OF JUDAS Every time I look at you I don't understand Why you let the things you did get so out of hand. You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned. Why'd you choose such a backward time in such a strange land? If you'd come today you could have reached a whole nation. Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication. Don't you get me wrong. I only want to know. CHOIR Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Who are you? What have you sacrificed? Jesus Christ Superstar, Do you think you're what they say you are? VOICE OF JUDAS Tell me what you think about your friends at the top. Who'd you think besides yourself's the pick of the crop? Buddha, was he where it's at? Is he where you are? Could Mohammed move a mountain, or was that just PR? Did you mean to die like that? Was that a mistake, or Did you know your messy death would be a record breaker? Don't you get me wrong. I only want to know. CHOIR Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Who are you? What have you sacrificed? Jesus Christ Superstar, Do you think you're what they say you are? (Repeat many times)
