MST Presents: Chicago

 Music by John Kander, Lyrics by Fred Ebb, Book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse

Based on the play, Chicago, by Maurine Dallas Watkins

Directed by Andrew John Mitchell | Choreography by Katie Gordon | Music Direction by Matthew Casarino

Dark Comedy Musical | Recommended for ages thirteen and up.

At long last, Kander & Ebb's legendary and award-winning musical comes to the Milburn Stone Theatre. In roaring twenties Chicago, Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap...until he finds out he's been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess," Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune, and acquittal. Winner of the 1997 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Musical and the longest running American musical in Broadway history, this sharp-edged satire features a dazzling score that sparked immortal staging by Bob Fosse.

"A pulse racing revival that flies us right into musical heaven." - The New York Times

CHICAGO is presented through special arrangement with Samuel French, LTD: A Concord Theatricals Company
