    When we think of musicals‚ the first thing we think of is ‘Wicked’‚ or ‘Lion King’‚ or the “Book or Mormon’. Chicago is a musical which defies all these cutesy stereotypes.

Originally opened in 1975‚ it failed to impressed audiences and it was shut down‚ after a meagre two-year release. It was reopened on Broadway

However‚ Amber’s lines seemed tremendously loud and exaggerated compared to the rest
