<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">In roaring twenties Chicago, chorine 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 and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune and acquittal. This sharp edged satire features a dazzling score. Premiering
in 1975 and the hit of the 1997 Broadway season (and still running!) in a production that originated at City Center's Encore! series, <i>Chicago</i> won six Tony Awards including Best Revival and later the Academy Award as Best Picture of the Year.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
