STORY
Premiering
in 1975 and the hit of the 1997 Broadway season in a production that
originated at City Center's Encore! series, Chicago won six Tony Awards
including Best Revival and later the Academy Award as Best Picture of
the Year.
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. Convicted and sent to
death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess", Velma Kelly, vie for the
spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the
"American Dream": fame, fortune and acquittal. This sharp edged satire
features a dazzling score that sparked immortal staging by Bob Fosse.

RATED PG-13: As the first line in the production states, Chicagois a story about "murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery." Though known for its promiscuous costuming and dancing, it is important to note the that story is a tongue-in-cheek send up of all that's morally wrong in America. Chicago is fairly harmless compared to what's seen on television today, but don't be surprised when minor off-color language and implied sexual situations occur.
