This amateur production of ‘Chicago’ is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH LTD, a Concord Theatricals Company
Unfortunately, due to the global pandemic, CTC had to cancel the production half way through the rehearsal period. Due to a scheduled National tour the opportunity to reschedule for the following year wasn’t feasible.
About the show
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 that sparked immortal staging by Bob Fosse.
