Austin Pride & aGLIFF Present: Chicago
2002, Rated PG-13, 113 min. Directed by Rob Marshall. Starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renée Zellweger, Richard Gere, Queen Latifah, John C. Reilly, Christine Baranski and Taye Diggs.
I once saw a stage production of Chicago in New York City, where my dad and a boy cousin snoozed through it all except for during the song “Mr. Cellophane.” You, good Reader, obviously have more taste than they. For example, you might consider attending this fun and official Austin Pride event where you can see drag hosted by Nadine Hughes, music from DJ Tony Castro, and even get a beauty consultation from Gorg! Wellness & Aesthetics. Once you’ve done all that, set up your picnic blanket and chairs on the Meanwhile lawn for a free screening of Best Picture winner Chicago. I promise: There’s more to this picture than just “Mr. Cellophane,” although John C. Reilly does a pretty freakin’ good rendition of it. – James Scott Read a full review of Chicago.
