It's 1929 and all the world's a stage - at least that's how it feels to vaudeville star, Velma Kelley (Catherine Zeta-Jones). Velma and her sister are partners in a song and dance act managed by Velma's husband. When Velma finds her two-timing husband in the arms of her sister, the act comes to an abrupt end with the two lovers shot to death and Velma behind bars for their murders.
Meanwhile wannabe singer/dancer Roxie Hart cheats on her simple husband, Amos (John C. Reilly) with a man she believes can make her famous. Once she discovers the man is just a furniture salesman with zero connections to show biz, Roxie pulls a gun on him and winds up in jail alongside her idol, Velma. In jail, the star and the starlet fight for freedom and headlines, and vie for the attention of legal eagle Billy Flynn (Richard Gere). Flynn's never lost a case and more importantly, he has the Chicago media feeding from the palm of his hand.
This stylishly sexy movie is based on the award-winning play “Chicago,” adapted by Bob Fosse, John Kander and Fred Ebb from the original play by Maurine Watkins. Unlike the stage play, most of the movie's song and dance numbers spring from the imagination of Renee Zellweger's character, Roxie Hart. Zellweger is perfect as the sweet, innocent-looking blonde ingénue with a fiery imagination and a lust for the stage. She belts out songs and dances with a grace of a lifelong Broadway performer.

Two chicks trying to become famous. One minute they're in jail, then they're not. Then they become famous.
But it takes a bit longer than that. The songs are great, especially the Cell Block Tango. I saw it in the West End. Brilliant.
