Pop six squish full#
It amazes me how the cast managed to pull off those moves and stunts while singing at full voice and, for some of them, wearing heels to boot. Apart from the clever storyline and the riveting music, there are the crazy-good dance sequences. That’s the perfect word for Chicago: entertaining. Sadly, we still see this going on today-criminals and lawyers toying with the public to get out of a rightful sentence. Though I’d seen the film, it was only when I watched the live production that I fully realized the genius behind John Kander, Fred Ebb, and Bob Fosse’s creation. I loved how the lights were utilized to give the illusion of prison cells and to highlight the glitz and glamor that masked the alarming truth behind the musical. The stage was smaller than I’d expected, but the American performance company made excellent use of it, with the cast maximizing every inch of space that wasn’t taken up by the orchestra. The upside for us was that we were able to switch seats and get a much better view. I’m guessing people were busy with Christmas parties and last-minute shopping. Surprisingly, the newly opened Theater at Solaire was far from full, at least in the balcony where we were seated. We caught one of the last shows in Manila. I hadn’t planned on watching Chicago live since I’d already seen the movie, but my sister asked for tickets to the show as my parents’ gift to her, so I ended up happily accompanying her. I’ve got a lot to share with you guys, but for now, I’ll start with the end…the end of my 2014 theater exploits, that is. and I saw him dead.So my blogging streak has been interrupted once again, this time by the holiday madness. I guess you can say we broke up because of artistic differences-he saw himself as alive. He'd go out every night looking for himself.Īnd on the way he found Ruth, Gladys, Rosemary, and Irving. He was a real artistic guy, sensitive-a painter.īut he was always trying to find himself. How could you tell me that I was wrong? (It was a murder, but not a crime) They had it comin' all along (They took a flower in its prime)
It wasn't until later when I was washin' the blood off my hands I even knew they were dead. Well, I was in such a state of shock I completely blacked out I can′t remember a thing. I come back, open the door-there′s Veronica and Charlie doin' number seventeen, the spread-eagle. Well, this one night we were in Cicero, the three of us, and we were in this hotel room boozin′ and havin' a few laughs and we ran out of ice, so I went to get some. One, two, three, four, five, splits, spread-eagles, flip-flops, backflips-one right after the other. My sister, Veronica, and I did this double act and my husband, Charlie, traveled around with us.įor the last number in our act, we did these twenty acrobatic tricks in a row. Probбltam a rendorsйgen megmagyarбzni de nem йrtettйk meg. Nem tudom miйrt mondja Uncle Sam, hogy йn tettem. Then he ran into my knife-he ran into my knife ten times!Īzt mondjбk, hogy a hнres lakem lefogta a fйrjemet йn meg lecsaptam a fejйt. "You've been screwin′ the milkman," he said and he kept sayin', "You've been screwin′ the milkman!" Now, I′m standin' in the kitchen carvin′ up the chicken for dinner and in storms my husband, Wilbur, in a jealous rage. It was a murder, (Squish) but not a crime (A hot Cicero Lipschitz) He took a flower in its prime (Pop, Six, Squish, a hot Cicero Lipschitz) He had it comin' (He had a hot Cicero Lipschitz) You know, some guys just can′t hold their arsenic. So that night when he came home, I mixed him his drink as usual. Not only was he married, well, he had six wives!
He'd go to work, he′d come home, I'd mix him a drink, we'd have dinner. I met Ezekiel Young from Salt Lake City about two years ago.Īnd he told me he was single and we, uh, hit it off right away. So I took the shotgun off the wall and I fired two warning shots. So I said to him-I said, "Bernie, you pop that gun one more time." Well, I come home this one day and there's Bernie layin′ on the couch, chewin′-no, not chewin'-poppin′! You know how people have these little habits that getcha down?īernie liked to chew gum-no, not chew-pop! Pop! Six! Squish! Uh-uh! Cicero! Lipschitz!
