About the Show:
Set amidst the glitz and decadence of the 1920s, Chicago follows the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife-turned-nightclub dancer who murders her lover in a crime of passion. With the help of a slick lawyer, she spins her crime into a media spectacle, all while competing for the spotlight with her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly.

Featuring iconic songs like “All That Jazz” and “Cell Block Tango,” and choreography inspired by the legendary Bob Fosse, Chicago has earned its place as the longest-running American musical in Broadway history.

The cast for this production includes Ellie Roddy as Roxie Hart, Taylor Lane as Velma Kelly, and Connor Sullivan as Billy Flynn, with direction by David Hyslop and choreography by Gregory Butler.

As part of the PNC Broadway in Kansas City season, Chicago is another reason why we love supporting live theater right here in KC. Whether it’s your first Broadway show or you’re a longtime fan revisiting this classic, this production promises to be a highlight of the season.
