Chicago is a dazzling, sharp-edged musical that blends crime, fame, and jazz into a darkly glamorous tale of ambition and betrayal. Set in the roaring 1920s, the story follows Roxie Hart, a housewife-turned-murderess who becomes an overnight sensation in the Chicago tabloids after killing her lover. In jail, she meets Velma Kelly, a vaudeville star also facing murder charges, and the two compete for the spotlight and the services of slick lawyer Billy Flynn. With iconic numbers like “All That Jazz” and “Cell Block Tango,” Chicago is a biting satire of celebrity culture, justice, and the lengths people will go to for fame.
