Deception, Greed, Murder, Entertainment, 
and ‘All that Jazz’ 

The cast is loving every minute of rehearsals and can’t wait to put on a show for Mainstage Center for the Arts audiences. Here’s what some cast members are saying:


“Roxie Hart is such a fascinating individual to explore and become. She is the perfect paradox between sweet and sultry; and will stop at nothing to get what she wants,” said Bella Nigrete (Roxie Hart).

   “This is the most welcoming and friendly directing staff I’ve ever worked with. I feel so fortunate to be part of this production. Velma has always been a dream role of mine,” said Cassie Matteo (Velma).

“One thing that is unique to this production here at Mainstage is that I get to perform along with kids I direct in the summer. I respect them as young actors and I’m really looking forward to sharing this fun experience with them,” said Anthony Magnotta (Billy Flynn).

Come to see this fabulous cast enjoying every minute on stage in CHICAGO (High School Edition), November 16, 7 p.m. and 17, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Click here for tickets or call (855) 936-2467, ext. 3.
