Book by Fred Ebb & Bob Fosse, Music by John Kander, Lyrics by Fred Ebb
Based on the play by Maurine Dallas Watkins, Script Adaptation by David Thompson
In roaring ’20s Chicago, aspiring chorus girl Roxie Hart and fading vaudeville star Velma Kelley each face trial for murder. The two "Merry Murderesses" vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream:" fame, fortune, and acquittal. This deliciously lurid tale of adultery, murder, and justice as show-biz features a killer score and knock-‘em dead dance numbers."
