Chicago

Based on the 1926 play by Maurine Dallas Watkins (which was based on real events), Chicago is a story of "murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery – all the things we hold near and dear to our hearts.” The story revolves around Roxie Hart, a nightclub dancer who dreams of starring in vaudeville. She kills her lover, deceives her husband, and hires Chicago’s shrewdest defense lawyer away from headline sensation and fellow inmate Velma Kelly. The lawyer, Billy Flynn, turns her crime of passion into celebrity headlines, and Roxie becomes the toast of Chicago.
