Chicago Tickets - The Most Entertaining Musical In Town
Chicago is one of Broadways most popular musicals. It has won six Tony Awards and has been made into a film as well, starring Catherine Zeta Jones, Renee Zelweiger and Richard Gere. The musical features some of the best dancing on Broadway, choreographed by Ann Reinking. According to the New York Times it is "the best musical in town".
The story of Chicago deals with adultery, murder and showbiz. It starts of by showing how Velma Kelly, a vaudevillian, has shot her sister who used to perform along with her. Velma had caught her sister with her husband. She shows no remorse and she performs the famous song "All That Jazz". At the same time another girl, Roxie Hart kills a nightclub regular, Fred Casely, whom she was rather intimate with. Her unsuspecting husband takes the blame because she convinces him that Fred was a burglar.
Both the women land up at the same women's prison filled with a number of other murderers. The prison is looked after by a matron, "Mama" Morton who follows a system of mutual aid, which works very well for her and the inmates. Enter Billy Flynn who is the most famous lawyer who can get anyone acquitted for the right price. There is animosity building between the two girls, Velma and Roxie as each one tries to outdo the other. If Velma makes the headlines one day then Roxie makes sure she's there the next. Velma is really mad when Roxie manages to hire her lawyer, the famous Billy Flynn.
Roxie becomes the darling of Chicago with her supposed tragic story. Velma is pushed in to the background. She asks Roxie to star with her in a recreation of her sister act after they are acquitted and Roxie turns her down. Soon another story of a sordid crime of passion makes the headlines, overshadowing hers. Roxie decides to fake a pregnancy to gain the limelight back. Velma is amazed at how resourceful Roxie is and how she always manages to bounce back. Eventually Billy gets Roxie acquitted as promised. As soon as she is free, another sensational crime takes away all the attention from her and she is soon forgotten. In the end, she and Velma team up for that sister act after all.
The current Broadway cast of Chicago includes Bianca Marroquin as Roxie, Brenda Braxton as Velma and Joey Lawrence as Billy Flynn. It is directed by Walter Bobbie with a book by John Kander and Fred Ebb. Chicago opened on November 14, 1996 and has completed ten years on Broadway. It has won a number of awards including six Tony Awards, one Grammy and five Drama Desk Awards.
Chicago is running for its eleventh year on Broadway at the Ambassador Theater.
