Why delete one of the best songs?

Friday, January 15th, 2010

Last week I went to see the musical Chicago at the Cambridge Theatre (and now consequently break out into renditions of Mr Cellophane and All that Jazz when feeling bored). I’d recently rewatched the movie version so the songs were all familiar to me – except for one that is,  the one about ’class’. And it’s probably my second favourite of the whole muscial (after All the Jazz) so I wondered why I didn’t remember it. Now I’ve discovered why – it was surprisingly edited out of the film.

For those who have not seen the stage version, here’s the deleted scene from the film, so you too can enjoy this great song.

    Going Too Far, by Catherine Alliott. Susie: I rarely read 'girly' books but came across Alliott a few years ago. I've read 3 of her books thus far, and was delighted to spot this one for 30p in a charity shop. I've not opened it as yet but am hoping for another witty, grown-up, middle-class romcom, with lots of 4x4s and country houses!
