Book Vs. Movie “Musicals in March”
The 1926 Play Chicago Vs the 2000 Filmed Adaptation

Our second pick this month for “Musicals in March” is Chicago which has a rich history in two important cities--Chicago and New York City. The original play was based on the true-crime work of Maurine Dallas Watkins--a journalist and playwright who had a flair for juicy dialogue. Born in Louisville, Kentucky sometime around 1896 (the state has no record of her birth) Watkins was ambitious enough to try her hand at playwriting when most women were not taken seriously as writers.

On the advice of one of her instructors, Watkins moved to Chicago to work as a newspaper reporter. Her time at the Chicago Tribune only lasted eight months, but her coverage of accused murderers Belva Gaertner and Beulah Sheriff Annan caused a sensation with the “jazz babies” entering the imaginations of millions of readers. (She later felt guilty about making them sound more charming than they deserved.)

After joining the Yale School of Drama, she wrote the play “The Brave Little Woman” with characters “Roxie Hart” and “Velma” which later became Chicago. After a respectable run on Broadway (the touring company included a then-unknown Clark Gable), she went on to write 20 more plays and became a Hollywood screenwriter. By saving and investing her money, she made a fortune and retired to Florida when not traveling the world. She was never married or had children and died quietly in 1969.

After her death, stars Gwen Verdon and Bob Fosse bought the rights to Chicago and partnered with John Kander and Fred Ebb to work on the music & score after their combined success with Cabaret. The 1975 production was a slow burn due to the illness of Verdon until Liza Minelli subbed for her. The musical would lose most major TONY Awards to A Chorus Line but it went on to become a $2 billion franchise and the second longest-running show on Broadway since the revival in 1996.

The basic story of Roxie Hart, Velma Kelly, Billy Flynn, and “Mama Morton” is one of the old adages “if it bleeds, it leads” with the media portraying the boozy dames as 1920s nouveau heroes. The songs are some of the catchiest you will ever hear in one show including “All That Jazz,” When You’re Good to Mama,” Roxie,” “I Can’t Do it Alone,” and “Nowadays.”

Rob Marshall directed the 2002 film that stars Renee Zellweger (Roxie,) Catherine Zeta-Jones (Velma,) Richard Gere (Billy Flynn,) Queen Latifah (“Mama” Morton,) John C. Reilly (Amos Hart,) Christine Baranski (Mary Sunshine,) and Taye Diggs as the Bandleader.

So, between the original play and the musical adaptation--which did we prefer?


In this ep the Margos discuss:
The origin story is based on real-life criminals in the 1920s
How the musical originally came together
The differences between the film and stage
The musical is a cash cow for theater.

Lello Lopes e Eduardo Pereira falam de astros que devem ter vergonha de alguns filmes na carreira. Comentamos pérolas estreladas por Leonardo DiCaprio, Jim Carrey, Renee Zellweger, Kenan Thompson e Gwyneth Paltrow.

Well this one revs up our two hosts.  They duel in a quiet basement about whether this film is funny or problematic.  Ty has some real issues with 30 year old women that he has to work out.

Rach takes us through the price of chardonnay decreasing, the best and worst Hollywood dialects, and method acting as a secretary.  Renee Zellweger is supposed to be chunky in this movie?!

It’s a massive pre-Oscars episode as Katie, Stevie and Claire go through the A-Z of the Academy Awards. It’s been a labour of love for Katie and you’ll never guess what she’s come up with for X and Z. Then Claire time-travels to the future to speak to Sky Cinema’s Oscar veterans Lucy Cotter and Alex Zane in Los Angeles to find out what they think we need to look out for this year. From arguments over Brad Pitt to analysis of Parasite’s chances of Best Picture, this is your one-stop shop for all things Oscars before the big night. If you like what you hear please subscribe, it would mean a lot to us. And let us know what you think is going to win this year at backstage@sky.uk

It’s a jam-packed episode featuring interviews with Renee Zellweger, Ben Platt and the director of new true-crime doc I Love You, Now Die. Plus Katie, Stevie and Claire discuss Renee’s Oscar-worthy turn in Judy, all the controversy surrounding Joker, and Netflix’s new show The Politician. They also review the new series of Motherland, and round up all the biggest stories from The Emmys.

We pick out highlights from Toronto and London Film Festivals so you know what everyone will be talking about come awards season. Stevie's chat with Jessica Chastain is horrifying enough but for fans of scary movies there's also an interview with It Chapter 2 director Andy Muschietti.
