"Chicago" is a classic musical brought to you with an amazing Direction and absolutely perfect acting! Catherine Zeta Jones landing an amazing supporting performance and manages to still every scene she's in! Unfortunately, Richard Gere was not the perfect casting for that specific role, but he is pretty charming from moment to moment!
The songs are there for you to find them and believe me... they are all magnificent!
