[NEohioPAL] Chicago Opens on May 11 at Heights Youth Theatre

CHICAGO

directed by nathan motta
Kander and Ebb's CHICAGO was originally conceived as a 
"musical vaudeville" where the story of the murderesses of the Cook County jail were told through the vehicle of a vaudeville show. This Heights Youth Theatre production abandon's Bob Fosse's notion of sexualization and black lingerie, and doesn't use the 2002 Oscar winning film's dark realism approach, and instead stays true to the original "musical vaudeville" concept of Kander and Ebbs setting the action squarely in the roaring 1920s on the stage of an upscale Chicago speakeasy. A show within a show, a stage within a stage, this exciting production of Chicago will be appropriate for a 
PG audience (there are a couple of four-letter words). Kander and Ebb's 
most famous score gives us Broadway jazz standards such as All That Jazz, 
Razzle Dazzle, Mr. Cellophane, and the Cell Block Tango. 
 
 Join us for a Chicago like you've never seen before!
