The production concept of 'CHICAGO' is that of a musical presented in the style of a vaudeville show. The show's creator - the legendary Bob Fosse - wanted to pay tribute to the type of entertainment so poular in America during the first decades of the last century.

​

Set in the city of Chicago during the late 1920's the off beat story tells of a married chorus girl Roxie Hart who murders a faithless lover and is jailed. On "Death Row" Roxie meets Velma Kelly and the two become rivals for news headlines. Both women hope with the help of a shifty lawyer, Billy Flynn, they will be acquitted and the publicity surrounding their trials will lead to fame on the vaudeville stage. This sharp-edged tale of murder, greed, corruption, and exploitation is sweetened by a musical score, sprinkled with the syncopated rhythms of the roaring twenties.
