British retirees travel to India to take up residence in what they believe is a newly restored hotel. Less luxurious than its advertisements, the Marigold Hotel nevertheless slowly begins to charm in unexpected ways.
Murderesses Velma Kelly (a chanteuse and tease who killed her husband and sister after finding them in bed together) and Roxie Hart (who killed her boyfriend when she discovered he wasn't going to make her a star) find themselves on death row together and fight for the fame that will keep them from the gallows in 1920s Chicago.
Ren MacCormack moves from big-city Boston to a small southern town, where life is very different. He lives with his aunt and uncle after his divorced mother's painful death from leukemia. An accident, in which five teenagers were killed after a night out, shocked the small town's community. The local councilmen and Reverend Shaw Moore reacted to the incident by banning loud music and dancing.

I think there could have been more dancing, but there was a lot more than the original. If you don't know Juliana then you need to turn your TV on! She was also in Burlesque. She is a very talented dancer and I think she was the perfect person for this part. I would have liked to seen her dance with Zac Efron, but if he's going to get a big head about it, I'm glad they got Kenny Wormald instead. He did a great job. I think they could have done more with his dance scene in the warehouse. They added a few more characters and that was good. If you like musicals then you will like this. If you don't, why do you even bother going? Miles Tyler was very good. Somewhat like the original character. Adding the young girls in to teach him to dance was very cute.Overall, very entertaining.
