Razzle dazzle

Thoroughly enjoyed the musical "Chicago"...although, were I to pick a nit, I didn't feel the finale was the strongest number in the show. Sharon Millerchip, Caroline O'Connor, Craig McLachlan, Gina Riley, the extended cast and the on-stage orchestra were all excellent. Am now eager to view Tinseltown's take - even if Renee Zellweger is in scrawny mode as Roxie Hart. I prefer her as the v. cuddly Bridget Jones.

Caught a taxi home from Star City. The driver enquired as to my gambling fortunes. I told him I'd lost a whole $2 on the pokies but gained a couple of free magazines. "You got out cheaply!" he laughed, then confessed to squandering thousands on roulette before quitting and shredding his credit cards. He claimed S/C repeatedly attempts to lure him back with vouchers for luxury accommodation and meals.
