Rob Marshall is one of Hollywood’s most innovative and impressive musical directors, helming everything from 2014’s Into the Woods to 2018’s Mary Poppins Returns to the highly anticipated The Little Mermaid, which is set to premiere this May. His immense talent has been clear since his feature debut with Chicago, which went on to win six Oscars, including Best Picture.

The 2002 film, which is based on the 1975 stage musical, takes place in the titular city during the Jazz Age and follows aspiring performer Roxie Hart (Renée Zellweger). After she’s arrested for killing the man she was having an affair with, Roxie finds herself on Murderess' Row alongside star performer Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones). A fierce rivalry between the two ensues as they vie for fleeting fame, capitalizing on their crimes with the help of a sleazy lawyer (Richard Gere) and the prison matron (Queen Latifah).

I got a chance to speak with Marshall to celebrate the film’s 20th anniversary, as well as the release of a new, Limited-Edition Blu-ray SteelBook from Paramount Home Entertainment available now. He discussed what he remembers about seeing the show for the first time, the scene he’s proudest of, who he would cast as Roxie today, and more.
