Chicago: The Musical (High School ed)


photo by Joe Grasso
Based on a 1926 play by Chicago Tribune reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins, Chicago tells the story of Roxie Hart, a chorus girl who murders her unfaithful husband, then manages not only to avoid prison with the help of razzle-dazzle lawyer Billy Flynn, but uses the trial to propel herself to showbiz stardom along with another murderous chorus girl, Velma Kelly. A dark parable of American justice, Chicago is a sexy musical extravaganza that includes several show-stopping    numbers such as "All That Jazz," "Razzle Dazzle" and "Class."

Chicago runs at the Dennis Flyer Theatre on November 16 &17, 2018, with a cast that includes Isabella Negrete (Roxie), Cassie Matteo (Velma) and Anthony Magnotta (Billy). Although the original Broadway show in 1975 enjoyed a run of 898 performances, it was overshadowed by A Chorus Line which opened the same year. (Chicago was nominated for 11 Tony Awards, but lost out in every category when A Chorus Line swept the awards.) As a result, Chicago would remain quietly in the shadows, one of Broadway's most underappreciated gems, until 1997 when it was revived on Broadway with choreography by Ann Reinking "in the style of Bob Fosse." This production spawned a national tour and went on to win 6 Tony Awards including "Best Revival of a Musical," "Best Lighting Design," "Best Choreography" and "Best Direction of a Musical."
