[@zanderlaitinen7109]

I love the comitment to having the entire vocal performance within one octave.

[@brettschager8585]

There was one sort of high note.

[@zanderlaitinen7109]

​@@brettschager8585 ​It was indeed the highest note in the song, a G4. And to their credit, that note is sung multiple times throughout the piece. The lowest note in the song however, is a G3, so the entire song fits neatly within the octave. It's also in the key of C. Specifically, middle C, with the highest and lowest notes of the song being the perfect 5th above and the perfect 4th below (A P5 inverts into a P4). The song is also entirely diatonic, without sharps or flats. The largest interval in the melody being that perfect fifth. This song was very deliberate in its simplicity.

[@analyticalbaguette]

@@zanderlaitinen7109 There's also the ending, which you expect to end on a C5, but instead, it stays on a G4.

[@givs4860]

[@enneagrami1711]

Don’t forget they always have one ALMOST sentimental line which nearly lands but not quite

[@edwardthememeboy1681]

As a man who played Amos Hart in my school’s musical Chicago, I never realized how many people found the number boring or unamusing lol. The song grew on me a lot throughout the process and I always found it very sad, and admittedly it’s a slow song until it gets to the climax at the very end, but I never personally found it boring. Maybe it’s cause I was the one actually getting to perform it but the song itself I always found to actually be very emotional and thought provoking but that’s just me ig. It was also nice playing Amos cause I didn’t mind having easy choreography and a likable character to the audience lol. (And yes, pretty much everyone was changing during my number lmao. They would all congratulate me after I came off though which was very reassuring)

[@josiea.3855]

I really liked Mr. Cellophane! Definitely the most emotional song to me, I really enjoy that part of the film 😭

[@amnessie]

tbh as much fun/excitement as the rest of Chicago is, Mr Cellophane has always been my favorite. it's the one with the most heart and makes me feel actually sympathy for any character in the show (other than the innocent prisoner, but that's fairly short comparatively)

[@CHESShireCat]

I love Mr Cellophane because Amos is the only relatable character in the show

[@DemonicNightmare]

I love Mr. Cellophane and I don't think it deserved to be listed, but I also think how enjoyable it is in a show depends wholly on the actor.

I actually love these little pieces from musicals. In part, because when I go to see a musical, I’m there to watch a show and hear people sing. And also, because it keeps the show flowing while the actors are changing clothes/scenery. I wonder if my Grandma would like to go see a musical again with me sometime, like we use to do when I was little. ❤️ We use to go to a “dinner” theatre where you could grab a plate from the buffet while watching a show.

[@NotTheBot]

I’m not sure what I really like to eat at those things. I guess I do enjoy a buffet -and there was that time I met Paul Mcartney at one- but sometimes my sister takes too much and just leaves like half a full plate then goes for more. I guess as long as the play was good. I think I’ll have a bowl of cereal now. Do we have milk?

Oh no. The flashbacks. I had a minister like that when I was a kid. His sermons were endless - like an hour and a half. Just when you thought he was trailing off he would start up with great gusto like “and tHeN ChRisT DIED FOR OUR SINS!!” And you knew it was going to be another 15 minutes at least before he tapered off again. 😭

Very well done! Need a whole show to showcase THIS song! Long, long ago, in a dinner theater far, far away, one season, I performed Pseudolus in "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum". Today, I hear songs from that show performed by that character, and go, "did i actually sing that song?" The following season, at a different dinner theater, I was one of the "chorus/eunuchs" and can't recall any of the songs they actually sang. Fabulous show, but lots of forgettable songs.
