這是CHICAGO裡面我最愛的片段之一
有看過電影的應該也對電影那段木偶人的片斷印象深刻
這邊就讓大家看看舞台現場和電影有何不同
現場真的超屌的喔
一定要看一下這片段
這場演出是2004/Mar/27 在倫敦的演出
飾演Roxie的Frances Ruffelle
尤其是木偶人被操控那段
結合木偶和腹語術
來表現出律師操縱Roxie的樣子
整個現場超HIGH的
好想看現場喔
真後悔來台灣那次沒有去看

以下是歌詞

REPORTERS

BILLY (as Roxie)
Mississippi

Very wealthy.

The convent of The Sacred Heart!

1920

REPORTERS
How old were you?

BILLY (as Roxie)
Don't remember

REPORTERS
Then what happened?

BILLY (as Roxie)
I met Amos
And he stole my heart away
Convinced me to elope one day

MARY SUNSHINE (spoken)
Oh you poor dear, I can't believe what you've been through
A convent girl! A run-away marriage!
Now tell us, Roxie.

REPORTERS
Who's Fred Casely?

BILLY (as Roxie)
My ex-boyfriend.

REPORTERS
Why'd you shoot him?

BILLY (as Roxie)
I was leavin'.

REPORTERS
Was he angry?

BILLY (as Roxie)
Like a madman
Still I said, "Fred, move along."

BILLY
She knew that she was doin' wrong.

REPORTERS
Then describe it.

BILLY (as Roxie)
He came toward me.

REPORTERS
With a pistol?

BILLY (as Roxie)
From my bureau.

Did you fight him?

BILLY (as Roxie)
Like a tiger.

BILLY
He had strength and she had none.

BILLY (as Roxie)

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
Oh yes, we both reached for the gun
For the gun.

Very frightened

REPORTERS
Are you sorry?

ROXIE
Are you kidding?

Though my choo-choo jumped the track
I'd give my life to bring him back
