Step into the Roaring Twenties where murders are daily news, and Chicago jazz clubs are your regular hang outs. When Roxie Hart murders her faithless lover in a moment of anger, her life is thrown upside down as she finds herself in jail on death row. In the Cook County Jail, Roxie meets famed double-murderess Velma Kelly, who soon becomes her rival for the spotlight and the news headlines!

With the help of Matron “Mama” Morton and the infamous attorney Billy Flynn, the women find themselves ultimately joining forces in search of the “American Dream”- fame, fortune, and acquittal.

Based on a 1920s play, this sharp-edged satire was one of America’s longest-running Broadway musicals, featuring a dazzling score by John Kander and smash-hit songs; All That Jazz, Razzle Dazzle, When You’re Good to Mama and Cell Block Tango.
