Drama Workshop is also pleased to present CHICAGO. Premiering in 1975 and the hit
of the 1997 Broadway season in a production that originated at City Center’s
Encore! series, Chicago won six Tony Awards including Best Revival and later
the Academy Award as Best Picture of the Year.
In
roaring twenties Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and
convinces her hapless husband Amos to take the rap…until he finds out he’s been
duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another
“Merry Murderess” Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines,
ultimately joining forces in search of the “American Dream”: fame, fortune and
acquittal. This sharp edged satire features a dazzling score that sparked
immortal staging by Bob Fosse.
