Chicago
Book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse
Music by John Kander Lyrics by Fred Ebb Based on the play by Maurine Dallas Watkins Script adaptation by David Thompson Directed by Christopher Qualls February 15–24, 2018
The longest running American musical in the history of Broadway, Kander and Ebb’s Chicago follows Roxie Hart as she joins the ranks of Velma Kelly and the other
“merry murderesses” of the Cook County jail in 1920s Chicago. With the help of lawyer Billy Flynn and prison matron Momma Morton, Roxie and Velma harness the power of celebrity to plead their cases and become stars. Although Chicago originally opened
on Broadway in 1975, its tawdry tales of celebrity culture run amok remain extremely pressing today. Join us!
