The musical Chicago was written by John Kander and Fred Ebb and first debuted on Broadway in 1975. It originally featured Chita Rivera, Gwen Verdon, Jerry Orbach and Mary McCarty. When it first debuted, ticket sales were not good and to make matters worse Gwen Verdon needed surgery for and injury she sustained during a performance. On the verge of the show closing, Liza Minnelli took over Verdon's role with less than two weeks of rehearsal time. Her replacement run for one month was sold out and her star power brought a new popularity to the show. It has since become the second longest running Musical in history. The 2004 film version starred Catharine Zeta Jones, Rene Zellweger, Queen Latifah, Richard Gere, John C. Reilly and a brief cameo by Chita Rivera. The songs featured in this video include:
1. All That Jazz - Chita Rivera
2. Funny Honey - Gwen Verdon
3. When You're Good To Mama - Mary McCarty
4. Cell Block Tango - Movie Cast
5. All I Care About - Richard Gere
