May 9 - June 7, 2003
Still playing on Broadway, and now
an Academy Award-winning film, Chicago is one of the
Great White Way's hottest shows -- and we're bringing it to
Franklin for the first time! From creators John Kander, Fred
Ebb and Bob Fosse, Chicago is the kiss-and-tell tale
of Roxie Hart, a chorus girl who kills her lover as a career
move; Billy Flynn, a sharp lawyer who turns Roxie into a celebrity;
and Velma Kelly, a dancing jailbird with an ear for headlines
and an eye for talent.
Chicago, a musical of crime,
corruption, and murderous chorus cuties, is packed with the
influence of vaudeville and features dazzling choreography
in the style of Bob Fosse. Visit us for a not-so-sentimental
trip to a pizzazz-packed universe of speakeasies, prison cells,
and brassy singers!
Chicago, winner of six 1997
Tony Awards, including Best Musical Revival, is a loving look
back at vaudeville, a timely satire of the justice system,
and a reminder of what great theatre can be.
Rated PG-13 for adult content.
