And All That Jazz
John has skillfully used a variety of styles and tempos in creating this very effective opener/production number. The opening section is fast and furious before switching to a medium swing groove. There is even a brief “bump and grind” before returning to the fast tempo and ending with a flourish!

Cell Block Tango
One of the highlights from the movie is this distinctive and moderately paced dance feature. Woodwinds and horns get a chance to shine on this one!

Roxie
This effective production number is written in a medium tempo swing style. The melody is skillfully traded around to various sections, and the feel alternates between a 2-beat feel and solid swing. |

With a healthy dose of tongue-in-cheek show biz razzle dazzle, this energetic closer starts out with a 2-beat feel, then follows with a full ensemble “shout” chorus and dynamic ending. |
