| Chicago Sept. 9-Oct. 2, 2005 Book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse. Music by John Kander. Lyrics by Fred Ebb. Based on the play Chicago by Maurine Dallas Watkins. Sponsored by Principal Financial Group Foundation, Inc.
In razzle dazzle, roaring '20s Chicago, married chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover. Roxie and Velma Kelly, another murderess on death row, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, hoping the publicity will catapult them to fame, freedom and successful stage careers. This sharp-edged take on murder, exploitation and treachery features a dazzling score by Kander & Ebb and Fosse-style choreography.
