Day After Day There is a road that meets the road way up in the sky That goes to my house over the city, over Tokyo And how the green grows there silver light, summer moon And we've got special boots you'll be over somebody's winter this afternoon To beat the path to my house And it's careful and it's careful when I'm there while the dolphins swim in the sea And I say your uncle was a crooked French-Canadian you're going grey, my baby And he was gut-shot running gin still the war is waging endlessly And how his guts were all suspended in his fingers day after day, day after day And how he held em How he held em held, em in way up in the sky And the water rolls down the drain over the city and lake Erie The water rolls down the drain you remember the flats, you were there O, what a lonely thing In a lonely drain out every night Mr moonlight July, July, July It never seemed so strange round and round and round we go This is the story of the road that goes to my house just like yesterday And what ghosts there do remain And all the troughs that run the length and breadth of my house way up in the sky And the chickens how they rattle chicken chains over the city where you sleep tonight And we'll remember this when we are old and ancient the light outside your window blinks Though the specifics might be vague And I'll say your camisole was a sprightly light magenta "hotel, hotel, hotel" When in fact it was a nappy bluish grey open the blind and dream in a moonbeam And the water rolls down the drain The blood rolls down the drain when the war's finally over O, what a lonely thing we'll meet again In a blood red drain and pick up where we left off July, July, July It never seemed so strange Sukiyaki Små grodorna Ue o muite arukoo I look up when I walk Namida ga kobore nai yoo ni So the tears won't fall A Swedish children’s song Omoidasu haru no hi Remembering those happy spring days Hitoribotchi no yoru But tonight I'm all alone Små grodorna, The small frogs Ue o muite arukoo I look up when I walk små grodorna The small frogs Nijinda hoshi o kazoete Counting the stars with tearful eyes är lustiga att se.

The first challenge of the choreography was casting the show. The li mited number of actors who could both si ng and dance meant a compromise had to be made between the choreographer and musical director. Faced with only having five trained dancers in the final cast, I not only had to choreograph the dances, but teach the cast how to dance as well. There was also the challenge of stayi ng true to my origi nal concepts of each musical number, while at the same time choreographing to the director's vision and concept. The final challenge was time. I was constantly aware of the fact that I had over ten musical numbers and only fo ur weeks complete the task.

For a movie musical this was a huge success considering that a musical had not won this category since 1969. The film dominated the 2003 Academy Awards as it was nominated for twelve categories, overall winning six. No one had expected the film to do so well since it was three decades in the making after Bob Fosse’s original release of the Broadway musical in 1976.

  • “Isn't It Swell... Nowadays?”: the Reception History of Chicago On
    “Isn’t It Swell . Nowadays?”: The Reception History of Chicago on Stage and Screen A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by Michael M. Kennedy BM, Butler University, 2004 MM, University of Hartford, 2008 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD Abstract The musical Chicago represents an anomaly in Broadway history: its 1996 revival far surpassed the modest success of the original 1975 production. Despite the original production’s box-office accomplishments, it received disparaging reviews regarding the cynicism of the work’s content. The musical celebrates the crimes and acquittals of two murderesses, and is based on Maurine Dallas Watkins’s coverage as a Chicago Tribune reporter of two 1924 murder cases, from which she generated a 1926 Broadway play. The 1975 Broadway production of Chicago: A Musical Vaudeville utilized this historical source material to comment on contemporary American society, highlighting parallels between the U.S. justice system and the entertainment industry, which critics and audiences of the post-Watergate era deemed as too cynical. Although Chicago initially achieved a mixed reception, the revival’s producers made few changes to John Kander’s music, Fred Ebb’s lyrics, and Ebb and Bob Fosse’s book, aside from simplifying the title to Chicago: The Musical. This suggests that the musical’s newfound success can be attributed to a societal shift in the perception of its subject matter. With further success from Chicago’s 2002 film adaptation, the originally dark and sardonic material became a smash hit and found itself as mainstream entertainment at the turn of the millennium.

  • Chicago Production Leaves Audiences In
    Alyssa Sheffy ’19, Drew Landaiche ’19: Chicago, performed at EA in April, left audiences in awe. Helena Bryant ‘17 and Brynn Doyle ‘18 starred in the musical as the leading female roles while Greg Smith ‘17 and Ryan Schiller ‘17 played the musical’s leading male roles. The musical, which is set in 1920s Chicago, follows the story of Velma Kelly (Helena Bryant ‘17) and Roxie Hart (Brynn Doyle ‘18), two murderers locked up with dreams of making it big on stage. Their only hopes of being set free depend on the help of prison warden “Mama” Morton (Anaya Cherry ‘18) and lawyer Billy Flynn (Greg Smith ‘17). The show opens up to Roxie killing a man she is having an affair with (Jeff Coote ‘17) and landing herself her in prison after her failed attempt at framing her husband, Amos Hart (Ryan Schiller ‘17). In prison, Roxie meets many other dangerous women whoare also locked up for murder. These interactions are shown in “Cell Block Tango,” in which Grace Hennigan ‘19, Mackenzie Lee ‘19, Bryce Nabulsi ‘19, Theresa Lemke ’17 and Kelly Flynn ‘17 displayed their musical talent as they revealed the intriguing ways they committed murder to the audience, landing them all in prison. However, some would say that they are “Not Guilty!” Billy Flynn, Roxie’s only hope of leaving prison and becoming famous on stage, tells her that in order to get him as her lawyer, she has to pay him $5,000. Desperate for money, Roxie goes to her husband Amos and declares her love for him, presenting the ultimatum that he must pay the $5,000 if he ever wants to see her again.
