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. One of Kander and Ebb’s best scores features immortal Broadway classics like “All that Jazz,” “Cell Block Tango” and “Mr. Cellophane.” Chicago will be helmed by Chris Carcione, the same director who brought to life Oklahoma, Les Miserables and 42nd Street.
