If you are looking for a dark comedy with all the right ingredients, search no farther than Chicago (The Musical) tickets. The city of Chicago during the 1920s was a hotbed for music, maidens and murder and a combustible setting for any drama. Chicago (The Musical) captures the essence of the era with incredible music, racy costumes and a top-notch cast.

The story starts with two characters, Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart. Kelly is a vaudeville performer who is on top of the Chicago jazz scene. Kelly shared an act with her sister but that partnership ended tumultuously when Kelly found her husband and sister sleeping together and killed them both. The married Roxie Hart is a vaudeville wannabe who is dating a man who loves the night life. Her husband almost takes the blame for killing him until he realizes his wife is having an affair.

Both Kelly and Hart are sent to Cook County Jail along with a host of murderous mistresses. They share more than just a correctional facility, however, as Billy Flynn is both girls' lawyer. Flynn throws himself into Hart's defense and makes his client famous in the process. Her newfound fame has Kelly fuming, and the two are at odds.

DeJean has been in other productions of Chicago along with productions like West Side Story and Jesus Christ Superstar. Lemenager has been in Broadway productions before like Kiss Me Kate and Guys and Dolls. Jeff McCarthy plays Billy Flynn and is no stranger to Broadway with roles in shows like Beauty and the Beast, city of Angels, Lockstock in Urinetown and Les Miserables. The cast is rounded out with Carol Woods as Mama Morton, Raymond Bokhour as Amos Hart and D. Micciche as Mary Sunshine.

This Tony Award-winning production should surely be on top of the list of any theater buff. John Kander wrote the music with hits like "Razzle Dazzle," "All That Jazz" and "Cell Block Tango."
