Chicago B'way Cast Recordings ('96) and ('75)

I was intrigued by a comment in an extra feature to the film that they cut 5 songs. The italicized titles are not in the film, and the bolded are extras. Note that the film has a new Kander/Ebb song, and 2 period songs added.

Casts (principals):

  • Velma :: Chita Rivera :: Bebe Neuwirth :: Catherine Zeta-Jones
  • Roxie :: Gwen Verdon :: Ann Reinking :: Renée Zellweger
  • Amos Hart :: Barney Martin :: Joel Grey :: John C. Reilly 
  • Matron :: Mary McCarty :: Marcia Lewis :: Queen Latifah
  • Billy Flynn :: Jerry Orbach :: James Naughton :: Richard Gere 
  • Mary Sunshine :: M. O'Haughey :: D. Sabella :: Christine Baranski
