Chicago by Georgetown Palace Theatre

Chicago
by Georgetown Palace Theatre

Mar. 14 - Mar. 17 (2015)

Set in Chicago during the roaring “jazz hot” 20s, Chicago tells the story of two rival vaudevillian murderesses locked up in Cook County Jail. Nightclub star Velma’s serving time for killing her husband and sister after finding the two in bed together. Driven chorus girl Roxie’s been tossed in the joint for bumping off the lover she’s been cheating on her husband with. Not one to rest on her laurels, Velma enlists the help of prison matron Mama Morton and slickster lawyer Billy Flynn, who turn Velma’s incarceration into a murder-of-the-week media frenzy, thus preparing the world for a splashy showbiz comeback. Roxie’s a very quick learner and has plans of her own to gain fame. Music by Kander and Ebb, book by Ebb and Bob Fosse, this is the second longest running show on Broadway.

Note from the director: this is a small cast show with a maximum number of 19 though we can cast as few as 15. This is a very strong dance/vocal show.
