Set in the 1920s and based on real-life murders and trials, CHICAGO follows Roxie Hart, a wannabe vaudevillian star who murders her lover and is arrested. In jail, Roxie meets her hero, the famed double-murderess and nightclub performer Velma Kelly. When both acquire the same lawyer, the greedy and lustful superstar, Billy Flynn, tensions come to a head, as they vie for attention and publicity. One of Broadway’s longest-running American musicals, CHICAGO is a funny, engaging and satirical look at fame, justice, and the media machine.
