For our 18th season, we are excited to announce that we’ll be producing, live and in-person, CHICAGO this coming December (2024.)
The musical Chicago is based on the real-life, high profile, trials of two women accused of murdering their lovers in 1920s Chicago. Set in the age of Jazz, at a time when societal views of women were shifting, the play is an ironic commentary on celebrity criminals and the corruption of justice. The musical version of the play became a Bob Fosse hit in 1975 and its revival remains the longest running in Broadway history. Of course we have to mention the 2003 Academy Award winning film version which was actually shot here in Toronto. Chicago is packed with action and features an array of interesting characters, anchored by two strong, complex female leads, Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly. The freewheeling feeling of jazz envelopes the production and Fosse’s signature choreography drives Chicago’s continuing appeal along with a string of iconic songs including: When You’re Good to Mama, Cell Block Tango and the unforgettable, All that Jazz.
