In roaring twenties Chicago, fame hungry 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. CHICAGO is still the one musical with everything that makes you shimmy-shake: a universal tale of fame, fortune, and all that jazz, with one showstopping song after another and a razzle-dazzle of a story. You’ve got to come and see why the name on everyone’s lips is still…CHICAGO. Children under 11 years old may not find the content of the show suitable.
