WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
This production of Chicago will star popular cultural and civic icon Jerry Springer, direct from the London production of the award-winning musical. This summer, Springer made his West End debut starring as 'Billy Flynn' at the Cambridge Theatre in England.
Murder. Greed. Corruption. Violence. Exploitation. Adultery. Treachery. Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, Chicago is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who maliciously murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her.
Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago's slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today's tabloids.
