Amity High School Presents "Chicago"

Based on the 1926 play by Maurine Dallas Watkins (which was based on real events), Chicago is, as we are told in the show’s opening lines, “a story of murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery -- all the things we hold near and dear to our hearts."

The story revolves around Roxie Hart  a nightclub dancer who dreams of starring in vaudeville just like her murdering idol Velma Kelly. She kills her lover and convinces her hapless husband Amos to front the money to hire Chicago's shrewdest defense lawyer.

The lawyer, Billy Flynn, turns her crime of passion into celebrity headlines, and Roxie becomes the toast of Chicago -- until other crimes pull the limelight away from her.  Singing, Dancing, Comedy and Intrigue;  Chicago the musical has it all!
