Office of lawyer Billy Flynn
Toronto, Canada
Oh, the Oak Room at Casa Loma in Toronto? That's where they shot a scene for the movie Chicago, turning it into the swanky office of slick lawyer Billy Flynn. It's got this old-world charm, oozing with that 1920s vibe, making you feel like you've stepped right into the glamorous era of jazz and prohibition.
Now, about Casa Loma itself - this place is a real-life castle in the heart of Toronto, built by a wealthy dude named Sir Henry Pellatt back in the early 1900s. It's got secret passages, stunning gardens, and a tower with killer views of the city. Plus, it served as a filming location for other flicks too, adding a touch of Hollywood magic to its already fascinating history.
Ontario Legislative Building
Toronto, Canada
Oh, you're talking about the Ontario Legislative Building in Toronto, eh? That's the spot where they filmed that iconic scene in "Chicago" where Flynn struts his stuff and introduces the glammed-up Roxie to the paparazzi. It's got that classic grandeur, adding a touch of Hollywood magic to our own Canadian turf.
Now, let me hit you with some cool tidbits about the place. First off, the building is an architectural gem, decked out in a Richardsonian Romanesque style, making it a real eye-catcher. Plus, it's not just a pretty face – it's been the legislative heart of Ontario since the late 19th century. So, next time you stroll by, remember you're walking in the footsteps of both politicians and movie stars – not a bad combo, eh?
The Onyx Theatre
Toronto, Canada
The Onyx Theatre is where starstruck Roxie Hart watches Velma Kelly in awe. It's an ornate theater with an intimate auditorium and a vast, deep stage to accommodate the big production numbers.
While it's not a real theater, it was meticulously constructed in the old Gooderham & Worts Distillery in Toronto. Fans will be amazed by the convincingly grim prison interior and the circus-ring designed courtroom, both of which were also sets built in this location.
