Trivia: Rob Marshall was originally considered by Miramax to direct the screen version of the smash Broadway play “Rent”. When he arrived for his interview, he told Miramax he wanted to talk about “Chicago” instead and proposed the “musical in Roxie’s mind” concept. Miramax loved the idea and put “Rent” on the back burner, finally making Rent (2005) three years later.
Goofs: Crew or equipment visible: During the Roxie Hart song, right after she sings “who says murders not an art” Roxie walks past a line of mirrors. Halfway through the shot the camera crew is visible in the refection just to the right of Roxie.
