About this episode
The 1950s and 60s saw movie musicals sweeping the Oscars. "My Fair Lady", "Gigi", "Oliver!" and more all walked away with Best Picture. But after 1967 we were left with a 35 year wait for the next. Enter Rob Marshall and his ground-breaking smash-hit, "Chicago". But having read about the history of Murderess Row in 1920s Chicago I felt compelled to find the truth behind the razzle-dazzle. Was the real Velma Kelly a cabaret singer? Was the Hungarian the first woman sentenced to death in Chicago? And did Roxie and Fred really both reach for the gun?! Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
