The
Stratford Playhouse will open its fall season with the musical production of Chicago,
a universal tale of fame, fortune and all that jazz. Performances are set for
7:30 p.m. on Oct. 16-18 and Oct. 23-25, with matinees on Oct. 19 and 25 at 2:30
p.m.
Set
in the roaring 20’s, Chicago is the story of housewife and nightclub
dancer Roxie Hart, who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk
out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the
media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly by hiring Chicago’s most popular
criminal lawyer to transform her crime into sensational headlines.
Roxie
has always dreamed of being famous, but it’s that very thing that could hold
her back from finding true happiness. A true New York institution, Chicago has
everything that makes Broadway great, and dazzles audiences with Fosse-styled
dancing and one show-stopping song after another.
The
Broadway version was honored with six Tony Awards, two Olivier awards, as well
as a Grammy for music excellence.
Tickets
are $16 in advance. Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. on October 16-18,
and also on 23-25, with a 2:30 p.m. matinee on October 25. Tickets are
available for purchase online or can be purchased at the Box Office beginning
Wednesday, Oct. 8. For more information or to buy tickets, go to www.shsplayhouse.org or call
