Chicago: The 10th Anniversary Edition Reviews:
For those who are fan... 
2008-08-30 - This package Chicago: The 10th Anniversary Edition is simply fantastic! We have an wonderful triple cd edition, the cd 2, with some stars singing their musics is very interesting, we have Liza Minelli singing I'm My Own Best Friend, and Chita Rivera in Nowadays. We also have 2 songs that aren't in the musical. The book is very beautiful, with great photos, and the dvd is fantastic. I agree that it could have with entires numbers of the show, but I'm brazilian, and I couldn't be more happy when I saw images of our show in the clips of All That Jazz, Roxie and All I Care About.
If Chicago is just one more show that you've seen, and you aren't a big fan of the show, really this package wouldn't be so funny. But Chicago is simply my favourite show of all, so I think that this edition is one of the greatest thing that I have in my collection.
The soul of this play
2008-08-25 - This is a great way to have a sample of all those fantastic runs of ths magnificent play all around the world. Fans will love it. For those who are not much into the play, it will be a fantastic way to understand it with the illustrated book and the interesting documentary on how this play has grown to be what it is today, said in the words of the original writers, composer and today's producers and the choreographer and actress Anne Renking.
ANNIVERSARY TRIBUTE TO
2007-03-22 - For ALL fans of the musical 'CHICAGO", the 10th Anniversary CD/DVD package will plesed and amaze you. The handsome package includes the cast recoding with another CD featuring worldwife stars doing lead songs. The most trhilling part of this incredible tribute is the DVD with interviews with the orginal cast members, the director, cherographer, designer and the composer! Truly a collectors dream come true! And to make this tribute even more memorable, there has a collection of photos of the major leads over the past ten years. All fans of great musicial theater will cherish this collectors tribute to a great show.
Toe Tapping music - but disappointing DVD! 
2007-02-08 - Having misplaced my original CD, I saw this on Amazon and decided to buy it. I was particularly excited about the prospect of seeing some of the songs recorded from stage productions.
CD1 is the same as the Cast Recording that I purchased before.
CD2 was a bit of "fun". It was interesting to hear the songs that were cut from the "new" show and it's not a great leap of the imagination to see why they probably were. It was also interesting to hear other peoples renditions of various songs from the show. Especially people like Liza Minelli, Melanie Griffith and even Linda Carter (yes, our very own "Wonder Woman").......
While I love the show and the music of "Chicago", I have to say I was disappointed by the DVD in this set. The feature about the re-opening of Chicago, was informative, but would have been better if intersperced with clips from the show(s) or even rehersals. The section that I was most excited about, the stage numbers of "All That Jazz", "All I Care About" and "When You're Good To Mama", were not the entire numbers recorded from a stage production......nor were they in English! There were clips from various productions (Japan, Germany...and a few others) all edited together to give the viewer a brief "taste" of the song in different languages.
I would have been much happier with the 3 songs, recorded from the stage production, sung in their entirity, in English.
That is the only bad thing I have to say about this set.
Definitely a buy for huge "Chicago" fans only. For the more casual admirer, go and buy the original cast recording album.....you'll be just as happy!
the new Razzle Dazzle
2007-01-24 - It is unfortunate that the previous reviewer (who disliked this boxed set so much he reviewed it twice) did not read the product description first to understand what he was buying. Yes, this celebration of the tenth anniversary of the revival of CHICAGO does include the original CD; those who own that disk and have only a casual interest in the show may not want to purchase this. But for less than twice the price of the single CD, this set offers a taste of the many stars who have done turns in this production since it opened (including the original 1975 production), both on Broadway and around the world, plus a DVD of interviews with those involved in the production, and a booklet full of other goodies. Perhaps no one NEEDS a version of "All That Jazz" in German, but what fun! If you can't distinguish Brooke Shield from Ann Reinking or Liza Minelli from Bebe Neuwirth, by all means don't buy this boxed set. But if you want to catch some of the razzle-dazzle you may have missed, enjoy!
