Collegiate Players Present Broadway Classic, Chicago

10/15/2019

The Collegiate Players will present Chicago (High School Edition), the Broadway classic, by Bob Fosse, John Kander and Fred Ebb on Oct. 23, 24 and 25 at 7:30 p.m. in Oates Theater.

The longest-running American musical in Broadway history, Chicago is a dazzling and satirical look at fame, justice and the American media machine set to one of Broadway’s greatest scores.

In Roaring Twenties, Jazz-Age Chicago, Roxie Hart murders her faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap — until he finds out he’s been duped and turns on Roxie. In the Cook County Jail, Roxie meets her hero, the famed double-murderess and nightclub performer Velma Kelly. Tensions come to a head as the two murderesses vie for the ultimate spotlight.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased through the TicketLeap website or by contacting Kate Parthemos (kparthemos@collegiate-va.org).

Due to mature themes and language, this production is intended for Upper School audiences only.
