Musical Careers Continue for Cast and Crew
In the wake of Chicago, with the musical genre starting to see a real renaissance, many of the cast and crew who worked on the film went on to appear or help out with other musical projects too. Catherine Zeta-Jones, for example, appeared in Rock of Ages, while Queen Latifah starred in Hairspray and Christine Baranski appeared in Into the Woods and Mamma Mia!

The director of Chicago, Rob Marshall, went on to work on Nine, Into the Woods, and Mary Poppins Returns, while writer Bill Condon worked on The Greatest Showman, Beauty and the Beast, and Dreamgirls. Even Chicago’s costume designer, Colleen Atwood, went on to work on projects like Sweeney Todd.
