Music by John Kander
Lyrics by Fred Ebb
Based on the play by Maurine Dallas Watkins
In the Roaring Twenties, aspiring chorus girl Roxie Hart and fading vaudeville star Velma Kelly each face trial for murder. Both as cynical as they are alluring, the two women compete for the services of shady lawyer Billy Flynn, who promises to make them media celebrities and thereby win them acquittals. With its killer score and knock-’em-dead dance numbers, this deliciously lurid tale of “adultery, murder and justice as showbiz” packs some serious heat. Suitable for audiences 12+.

A new version of Georges Feydeau’s farce by David Ives

To find out, she and her friend Lucienne write him an anonymous love letter suggesting a rendezvous at the shady Frisky Pussycat Hotel, but Victor sends a friend to the meet-up instead…and so things (and beds!) spin completely out of control.
