Viscerally modern, CHICAGO -- the longest-running American musical on Broadway -- explodes with energy. In roaring twenties Chicago, Roxie Hart lands on murderers' row along with famed nightclub star Velma Kelly. Chicagos slickest lawyer, Billy Flynn, is set to defend them and soon turns their stories into a media circus filled with flair to gain the publics sympathy. As a timely satire on American justice and sensationalized journalism, CHICAGO relies on fake news to reconstruct public reality. This sharp-edged musical mixes the immortal style of Bob Fosse with infamous songs like The Cell Block Tango, Mr. Cellophane, & All That Jazz into a powder keg of a show.
