But Chicago was not a household musical they way it is now, despite sporadic productions.
I remember in college in the 90s, our musical theater professor introduced us to "All That Jazz." He presented it as a rare musical appreciated by insiders, but not widely known. This felt correct because none of us young rabid fans had heard of it. There wasn't even a CD, I believe, because a year or so later, they issued a CD and I recall being thrilled to FINALLY hear this full score.
Then the '96 production hit and the rest is history. |
