MaryAnn, Robert, Michael and I spent NY eve in Atlanta with Chicago, the movie. It was really good. Now you all know that I'm not that much into musicals, but I loved The Lion King in NY in September and MA thought this would be a good way to usher in the new year 2003. I went along.

I really enjoyed it. Richard Gere was really good, CZ Jones was terrific and I liked Rene Z, although everytime I see here, I just think of Bridget Jones and "you complete me" so I have a hard time getting past this with her. She was my least favorite part in the production, but I really, really liked the rest of it. I wished that they hadn't had to cut out any of the numbers for the movie and that sometime in the near future I can see the live performance of this musical in NYC.
