In “Roaring Twenties” Chicago, chorus girl Roxie Hart murders her secret lover in an act of frustration 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 fellow merry murderess, Velma Kelly, seek the city’s best lawyer and heartthrob Billy Flynn, and vie for the spotlight, and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune, and acquittal.
Join our SENIORS for this incredible high school edition of CHICAGO!
