Chicago The Musical

Chicago

Book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse
Music by John Kander
Lyrics by Fred Ebb
Based on the play by Maurine Dallas Watkins
Script Adaptation by David Thompson

Chicago is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.

In roaring twenties 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.

Friederich Theater, Hermann Fine Arts Center
