In Chicago, nothing is what it seems — but glittering bright.

In Chicago, you can’t tell talent from ruthlessness, naivety from cunning, victim from perpetrator.

In Chicago, it doesn’t matter what you do — the point is how many people know your name, and whether you’ve got the right connection in the right place.

In Chicago, the best currency is willingness to act. And what needs to be done is rarely right.

In Chicago, everyone gets their fifteen minutes of fame. And you know your place. Because when the next one comes, the headlines are no longer about you.

And in Chicago, the ending isn’t happy. But everything has music.

Performed by celebrity-criminals Roxie Hart & Velma Kelly & Co., directed by Kriszta Székely, from the legendary music-theatre of Kander, Ebb & Fosse.
