In roaring twenties Chicago, chorus girl Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband Amos to take the rap…until he finds out he’s been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another “Merry Murderess”, Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight, headlines and the public’s sympathy. Ultimately they join forces in search of the “American Dream”: fame, fortune and acquittal. This sharp-edged musical satire features a dazzling score that sparked immortal staging by Bob Fosse.
