Chicago
Shubert Theatre (Broadway)
With its iconic book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, music by John Kander, and lyrics by Fred Ebb, *Chicago* proudly holds the title of the longest-running American musical in Broadway history. Set against the vibrant backdrop of the 1920s, it unfolds the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub performer who finds herself embroiled in a murder scandal after killing her lover. Determined to escape conviction, Roxie uses her cunning to manipulate public opinion, the media, and her rival, Velma Kelly, by enlisting the services of Chicago’s most charismatic defense attorney, transforming her despicable act into sensational news headlines reminiscent of today’s tabloids.
