CHICAGO Returns to Broadway — Preview

Chicago resumes performances, celebrating its 25th Anniversary Year on Broadway.

A spokesperson for Chicago describes the musical as, “set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today's tabloids.”
