Artist: Chicago The Musical
Genre: Theater
Background: An over-the-hill chorine murders her boyfriend, tries to pin it on her husband, attracts a high-profile lawyer, is found not guilty after a razzmatazz carnival of a trial, and then parlays her new-found fame into a vaudeville engagement. Thanks to O.J. and subsequent similar media circuses, Chicago in 1927 is eerily like America today, and the revival of Bob Fosse's sardonic entertainment, a mild success on Broadway back in 1975, is a bona fide smash hit, even in its eighth year.

Murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery--all those things we hold near and dear to our hearts." So begins the musical Chicago--and creators John Kander, Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse never back off from their bold and sinister promise. Chicago is the kiss-and-tell tale of Roxie Hart, a chorus girl who kills her lover as a career move; Billy Flynn, a sharp lawyer who turns Roxie into a celebrity; and Velma Kelly, a dancing jailbird with an ear for headlines and an eye for talent. Chicago, winner of six 1997 Tony Awards, including Best Musical Revival, is a loving look back at vaudeville, a timely satire of the justice system, and a reminder of what great theater can be.
