CHICAGO (ENDS 22 APR)
Vaudeville-era merry murderesses Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly find that making headlines pays off in this razzle-dazzle hit musical.
John Kander and Fred Ebb's clever musical exploration of murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery--all those things that we hold dear to our hearts. Chicago follows the kiss-and-tell tale of married chorus girl Roxie Hart, who kills her lover as a career move. She lands in Cook County Jail and hires slick lawyer Billy Flynn, who invents her defense and turns Roxie into a celebrity to the dismay of rival jailbird Velma Kelly.
Chicago is a loving look back at vaudeville, a timely satire of the justice system, and a reminder of what great theatre can be. See the stage musical that grabbed attention years before the acclaimed film version made a killing at the Academy Awards.
