In Cell Block Tango, six murderesses tell the crooked stories of how they ended up in the Cook County Jail. Some beautifully-crafted punchlines within every monologue make you gasp and shriek at the same time.

“You know some guys just can’t hold their arsenic” is an example of one such punchline. The lyrics of the song gave the choreographers a lot of room to figure out the moves. Add to that a very enabling chorus, and you have yourself an audience-grabbing song. The song is also regarded as one of the best story-telling musical theater songs of all time.
