Chicago is one of the longest running musicals in the country. Set in the jazz age and based on the true court trials of Beluah Annan and Belva Gaetner, it features jazz aged music and costumes, as well as themes of corruption, greed, and celebrity crime. Some of the main characters in the play are Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly. Both Roxie and Velma are arrested for killing and are sent away to prison. A lawyer known as Billy Flynn decides to take the women’s cases and from there they get attention from the media. 

“The live music, the singing, the choreography, like all the dancing we do is insane, the outfits are amazing too,” says cast member Abigail Nguyen. Don’t miss what is sure to be an epic production!
