In roaring twenties Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband Amos to take the rap...until he finds out he’s been duped and turns on Roxie. Fighting for her life and the headlines, Roxie vies with double murderess Velma Kelly for celebrity attorney Billy Flynn, ultimately joining forces in search of the “American Dream”: fame, fortune and acquittal. Premiering in 1975 and the revival hit of the 1996 Broadway season, Chicago won six Tony Awards including Best Revival and the 2003 Academy Award for Best Picture of the Year. Featuring a scintillating score, this sharp edged satire is a superbly crafted razzle-dazzle of musical theater. Directed by John Thompson, Music Direction by Jeannie Smith.
