Ever inspiring and feeling even more timely now then when it was written, CHICAGO is set in the legendary city during the roaring “jazz hot” 20s. CHICAGO tells the story of two rival vaudevillian murderesses locked up in Cook County Jail. Nightclub star Velma’s serving time for killing her husband and sister after finding the two in bed together. Driven chorus girl Roxie’s been tossed in the joint for bumping off the lover she’s been cheating on her husband with. Not one to rest on her laurels, Velma enlists the help of prison matron Mama Morton and slickster lawyer Billy Flynn, who turn Velma’s incarceration into a murder-of-the-week media frenzy, thus preparing the world for a splashy showbiz comeback. But Roxie’s got some of her own tricks up her sleeve…

Ahead of its time in breaking the fourth wall and dripping with stylish sophisticated cynicism that was in vogue in the 1970s, Chicago was an instant Broadway success story. The song and libretto feels as modern now as when created and continued Bob Fosse’s legendary career as a director-choreographer.

 

Our main-stage production is being directed by Broadway’s Ashley Kate Adams with music direction by Kevin Winebold.

Be in the WORLD PREMIERE of a new work!
Learn about the rewards and challenges of creating a character from the ground up, and working with a developing script.

 

Brief Plot Summary:
Millie Frank is a 16 year old average high school student in the middle of America. Despite her unpopularity at school she dreams of becoming a big-name social media influencer celebrity. She can’t even compete with Sadie and her crew in terms of likes & followers, but when she finds out about a new social media convention happening in New York City, she makes a daring leap of faith to try to get there to achieve her goal. Along with the help of her only companion, Kat, and the various trippers they meet along the way, including Cam who tags along with them, they encounter all types of crazy and exotic characters and groups along the way. When they finally reach the convention in New York, Millie is surprised to be greeted by a hoard of fans who have been following her misadventures, but ultimately realizes that the journey to get there was far more exciting than the “celeb status” end result.
