Chicago/ Courtney Bell

In the mid-'20s, Roxie Hart (Renee Zellweger) is a small-time chorus dancer married to a well-meaning dunderhead named Amos (John C. Reilly). Roxie is having an affair on the side with Fred Casley (Dominic West), a smooth talker who insists he can make her a star. However, Fred strings Roxie along a bit too far for his own good, and when she realizes that his promises are empty, she becomes enraged and murders Fred in cold blood. 

Roxie soon finds herself behind bars alongside Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones), a vaudeville star who used to perform with her sister until Velma discovered that her sister had been sleeping with her husband and Chicago's slickest lawyer, Billy Flynn (Richard Gere), is set to defend her [run on/awkward construction]. In this movie there are multiple musicals numbers that are performed.

Courtney, 

What you have thus far represents a good start but is primarily recall/retell. What are your thoughts? Have you had other experiences with musicals? If so, how does Chicago compare? Would you recommend this film to family or friends?
