If I would of wanted to see Chicago,the play, I would of gone to the theater not to the cinema. The adaptation from play to movie lacks the whole point of what cinema is for, imagination!!! Most dancing scenes have a black background with only a few actors dancing that lack skill. The film lacks movement, choreography and scenery. The acting is preposterous and the music is a joke. American cinema at its worst. If you want to see good musicals watch Moulin Rouge and Dancer in the Dark
