Details :

In the heart of Chicago during the Jazz Age, Roxie Hart is a chorus girl with dreams of stardom. When her lover, Fred Casely, threatens to leave her, Roxie murders him in a fit of rage. Arrested and imprisoned, she finds herself in the same jail as Velma Kelly, a vaudeville star who has been accused of killing her husband and sister.

Both women are determined to turn their crimes into a media sensation to secure their freedom. They engage in a fierce competition to capture the spotlight, with Velma trying to maintain her fame and Roxie seeking to surpass her. Their fortunes change with the arrival of Billy Flynn, a slick and charismatic lawyer who specializes in defending high-profile cases. Flynn’s manipulative skills turn Roxie into a media darling, and he uses the media circus to craft a dramatic narrative that will guarantee her acquittal. The musical delves into themes of corruption, fame, and justice, as the characters navigate their way through a sensationalized trial and public spectacle. It features iconic numbers like “All That Jazz,” “Cell Block Tango,” and “Razzle Dazzle,” which highlight the show’s sharp wit and commentary on the pursuit of fame and the flaws of the legal system.
