"The cast has been working extremely hard and you won't want to miss this awesome show," wrote Hall High Theater Director Spencer Bazzano.
"Chicago" was first performed in the mid-970s, when it enjoyed a long run on Broadway.
In 2002, it became a hit movie musical starring Richard Gere and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
The play tells the tale of a sordid murder trial in 1920s Chicago involving a young, female defendant amid the Jazz Age.
