What's Cicero?

[SPAGo 98]

What significance does it have in relation to the city of Chicago? I got all curious because it's in Chicago.

Cicero is actually a suburb of Chicago. It has always had a reputation of being a 'crime' town but they recently had the mayor, police chief and some other high ranking officials get busted for some insurance scam or something.

Pop! SIX! Squiiish, Uh-huh
Cicero, Lifschitz!


I just whipped out the soundtrack! I can't wait to see this; I have a feeling it's going to thrill me more than the B'way version -Bebe or no Bebe. Amend that...the DANCING...wow....the movie has big shoes to fill.

lilboo....you have to go see it if you're a fan of the show -- you will not be disappointed! The "Cell Block Tango" number is amazing in the movie -- as was Queen Latifah as Mama Morton in "When You're Good to Mama" ...she really was fantastic in the role.

I know now what I want for my birthday....Catherine Zeta-Jones! LOL! Wow is she one hot Velma Kelly! and this is coming from someone who saw the stage version of the Chicago starring his 1980's dream girlfriend Deborah Gibson as Velma

Joe, that is the cutest thing.

Yes...I can't WAIT to see it...the last time...I was doing Fosse-well my version of it -ALL OVER the place.

I love Cathy Zeta-Jones!

I love this movie! The soundtrack is coming out tomorrow.

I thought that Cicero is where Velma committed the crime.

Joe -- Debra Gibson as Velma? Roxie, maybe. But, I'll take your word for it.

It is, but I thought it might have some significance outside of the movie.

Wow, I'm glad someone cleared that up. I had no idea what Cicero was.

I agree, it was an amazing movie. I liked it better than the stage version.
