Murder, greed, corruption, exploitation, violence, adultery, treachery.....so begins the musical Chicago.
Based on the true life trials of Beulah Annan and Belva Gaertner in the 1920s, Chicago is the tale of Roxie Hart, a chorus girl who has murdered her lover but manages to get acquitted with the help of sleazy hotshot lawyer Billy Flynn. Despite seething rivalry, she teams up with another murderess, Velma Kelly, to form an unusual nightclub act which they both hope will keep them from fading into notoriety.
The musical, which won the 1998 Olivier Award for Outstanding Musical Production and spawned the hit film starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellweger and Richard Gere, includes the songs All That Jazz, Razzle Dazzle, Class, Cell Block Tango, Mr. Cellophane and All I Care About.
