37. Chicago The Musical (Grand Opera House) Review

Chicago The Musical is set in Chicago in the 1920s, and follows the story of Roxie Hart, a wannabe vaudevillian star who murders her lover and is arrested, despite attempting to convince her pushover husband, Amos, to lie for her. After she arrives in jail, she meets her hero, Velma Kelly, and after they both require the same lawyer, the greedy and lustful, Billy Flynn, they start on wanting to use him to spin their images for the good. While Velma goes to enlist the help of Matro Momma Morton to help Roxie's odds. Billy Flynn helps get Roxie into a media frenzy, and she enjoys having all the attention on her. The rest of the show is about whether or not Roxie is found guilty, and what happens to those who are.
