The musical "Chicago"

Roxy :D Volim ovaj mjuzikl, gledala i film i predstavu. Stvarno su sjajni i velika preporuka od mene da odgleda ko nije kada ima vremena :)

Чикаго је један од најпопуларнијих бродвејских мјузикала у коме се преплићу страст, пожуда, сплетке, убиства, шоу бизнис и поткупљиве судије и адвокати. Овај висококвалитетни бродвејски хит кроз мноштво музичких хитова попут “Сав тај џез”, и низа експресивних и висококвалитетних кореографских нумера, на сатиричан начин говори о Америци из времена бурних двадесетих година прошлог века. Прича почиње када неостварена музичка глумица и певачица Рокси Харт, која сања о успеху на чикашким позорницама, убија свог љубавника. У затвору среће свог идола- славну Велму Кели. Њих две не презају ни од чега да би стигле до циља у чему им помаже изразито курумпирани адвокат Били Флин…

Musical, also called musical comedy, theatrical production that is characteristically sentimental and amusing in nature, with a simple but distinctive plot, and offering music, dancing, and dialogue.

The antecedents of the musical can be traced to a number of 19th-century forms of entertainment including the music hall, comic opera, burlesque, vaudeville, variety shows, pantomime, and the minstrel show. These early entertainments blended the traditions of French ballet, acrobatics, and dramatic interludes. In September 1866 the first musical comedy, The Black Crook, opened in New York City. It was later described as a combination of French Romantic ballet and German melodrama, and it attracted patrons of opera and serious drama, as well as those of burlesque shows. In the late 1890s the British showman and entrepreneur George Edwardes brought his London Gaiety Girls to New York City, calling his production musical comedy to distinguish it from his previous burlesques.Much of American popular music of the first decades of the 20th century was written by European immigrants, such as Victor Herbert, Rudolf Friml, and Sigmund Romberg. They brought a form of operetta to the United States that was, in every sense, the generic source for musical comedy; it was sentimental and melodious and established a tradition of the play based on musical numbers and songs. Romberg’s works, such as The Student Prince (1924) and The Desert Song (1926), were also made into successful motion pictures. George M. Cohan ushered in the heyday of musical comedy with his productions; they introduced such memorable songs as “You’re a Grand Old Flag,”““Give My Regards to Broadway,” and “Over There”.During the 1920s and ’30s, musical comedy entered its richest period. Jerome Kern working with Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse, wrote a number of outstanding comedies. George and Ira Gershwin teamed up to write Oh, Kay! (1926), Funny Face (1927), Strike Up the Band (1930), and others. Cole Porter wrote timeless and sophisticated compositions for such musicals as Anything Goes (1934) and Dubarry Was a Lady (1939). Other notable composers and lyricists of this period were Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, Harold Arlen, Jule Styne, and Vincent Youmans.The genre had taken a new turn with the production in 1927 of Show Boat (music by Kern, book and lyrics by Hammerstein); it was the first musical to provide a cohesive plot and initiate the use of music that was integral to the narrative, a practice that did not fully take hold until the 1940s. Based on a novel by Edna Ferber, the musical presented a serious drama based on American themes incorporating music that was derived from American folk melodies and spirituals.
