Synopsis

Product Description
This is a new recording of selections from the Broadway musical Chicago, by John Kander and Fred Ebb. The show was nominated for 11 Tony Awards in 1976, including Best Musical and Best Score. This album features two versions of each song: tracks 1-14 contain the background music and guide vocals, tracks 15-28 contain the accompaniment music alone. All songs are in the original show key, and show tempo. The album is recorded in the CD+G format. When played in a karaoke machine, lyrics will appear on-screen. In a conventional CD player no lyrics will appear onscreen, however a booklet of the lyrics is enclosed in the CD jewel case.
 

CD Reviews

If you love to sing, and you want to sing the Chicago songs.

"If you love to sing, this is a must-buy for your collection.
I saw Chicago on Broadway with a top cast, and loved it. Then I bought the soundtrack,and sang along with it, and really enjoyed it. But when I found the karaoke CD, I bought it also because I love to sing, and with all of the words to all of the songs, I enjoy being accompanied by an orchestra, and not having to try to sing over the cast album. Although the performers voices on the karaoke are not those of the quality on the soundtrack from the show, the orchestral tracks allow me to sing, record, and listen to how I sound on my own (pretty good, I must say modestly)! And I just heard that the movie of Chicago is coming out later this year, and I can't wait! So this CD should be a great one to enable me to learn all of the words and melodies, without trying to sing over the voices of the soundtrack.Both are musts if you like Broadway shows, and super-musts if you love the music from the show as much as I do!"
Not the best... but still fun

"The music quality is ok. Better than I was expecting; however, it does sound like a MIDI file in some places.My biggest criticism is that when the song breaks into parts, it only puts one part on the screen. For example, in "Funny Honey" at the end, it only has Amos' spoken part on the screen. Roxie's part is written in the booklet, but it would be better if that had both parts on the screen simultaneously. Also, on "We both reached for the Gun" the voices of the reporters are recorded, and I would have rather they weren't. And thirdly, the MC introductions aren't there on any song! But other than these three things it is fun to get to sing along with a great musical."
Hooray

"This album is a lot of fun. The recordings give listeners a sense of how they should sing along with the karaoke, and being able to have a track with just instruments for singing along is an innovative idea and I am glad this album is around. It's fun if you just feel like singing along, or if you are practicing for some sort of audition with a song from Chicago. Definitely worth the money"
