    I so wish the film had been made in this era so Liza could give the definitive version

      Actually, there were plans in the late '70s/early '80s for a film with her playing Velma and Goldie Hawn as Roxie, but like many projects in development, it never panned out.

      I am kinda glad they didn't as they screwed up so many movie musicals back then. Annie, A Chorus Line just to name a few.

    I was there! I saw Liza in Chicago in 1975. They announced at the beginning of the show that Gwen Verdon was indisposed .....and her role would be taken by......Liza Minnelli!

      I saw them both. They were both great in different ways. I felt sorry for Chita Rivera because in the opening number a silhouetted figure comes to the footlights for All That Jazz and the audience went berserk....assuming it was Liza and the applause just died abruptly when it was Rivera Minnelli is not in their league as a dancer, especially with so little rehearsal.

      In fact, she came in on a week’s notice and kept the show open when Verdon was ill. Otherwise, we likely would have hardly heard of it “nowadays.”
