The magic of Chicago in New York

I am not one of nature’s musical lovers. That’s putting it mildly. I normally get pulled along to musicals by the distaff side of my family, with one of them detailed to give me an elbow in the ribs every time they detect the merest hint that I am nodding off.

Anyway, we were blessed to see “Chicago” at the Ambassador’s Theatre on Broadway on Tuesday night. Given the humungous size of everything else in New York City, I was expecting a huge theatre the size of the Hammersmith Apollo. However,  it was actually a small-medium sized theatre about the size of the New Theatre, Oxford.

The whole thing was superb but I was particularly knocked out by Carol Woods singing “When you’re good to Mama”. She has got one heck of a pair of lungs on her!

You can see her singing a clip from the song at 3.00′ here:

"There is a refreshing frankness to the musings of Liberal Burblings which single this blog out. The ability to not mince one's words is highly prized here and, when combined with the ability to profane without insulting the reader's intelligence, is excellent. Whether pondering on the state of the Lib Dems, the country or the world at large, you can rely on Liberal Burblings to tell it like he thinks it is." - www.politics.co.uk

The actors and jesters are here
The stage is in darkness and clear
For raising the curtain
And no one's quite certain whose play it is

And the three men I admire most:
The father, son, and the holy ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.
