What character did you play in All That Jazz?
Actually, Frank, All That Jazz is one of the songs (maybe the first one ?) in the musical entitled Chigago which was made into a film in recent years starring Renée Zellwegger and Catherine Zeta Jones (i believe) and who else, guys???
So it was that song from the show that we included in an all around New Year's Musical venture on stage, there were excerpts from Mame, from Chicago, from Grease, from Victor Victoria, from Fame, from Les Miserables, from The Bird Cage etc... and from other musicals...
And yes, Frank, All That Jazz, the movie, directed by the great and late Bob Fosse, (who also directed Cabaret) is a great movie. It won something in Cannes in 1980, I believe, but some of our crowd here will be too young to remember that. ((un)lucky them! )
