Book by Fred Ebb & Bob Fosse
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
