SUMMARY:Chicago -- Wellington
DESCRIPTION:A nightclub singer\, a double-murderess\, a smooth-talking lawyer and a cell block of sin….. so the story unfolds in the award-winning Broadway and West End musical Chicago\, which comes to New Zealand in August 2018 and opens at The Civic in Auckland before moving to the Opera House in Wellington in September. \nWinner of six Tonys\, two Oliviers\, one Grammy\, two Baftas and six Academy Awards\, plus thousands of standing ovations\, Chicago is the longest-running musical revival in Broadway history and truly is “The sharpest\, slickest show on the block” (The Times\, UK). \nChicago has everything that makes Broadway and the West End great – a universal tale of fame\, fortune and all that jazz; one show-stopping song after another\, including Razzle Dazzle\, Cell Block Tango and All That Jazz; the sexiest\, most sensational dancing; and a sharply sophisticated set which incorporates the 11-piece orchestra. \nIt’s no surprise that this devilishly delicious musical has brought cheering audiences to their feet all around the world\, from Mexico City to Moscow\, from Sao Paulo to South Africa. An estimated 31 million people have seen Chicago\, which has played over 30\,000 performances worldwide. \nSet in the Prohibition-era 1920s\, Chicago is the story of Roxie Hart\, a housewife and nightclub dancer with ambitions of Vaudeville stardom\, who maliciously 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 slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines\, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today’s tabloids. \nChicago is a stunning spectacle full of social satire\, intrigue\, love\, betrayal\, rivalry and friendship\, a pageant of music and dance that adroitly shifts between reality and fantasy\, as Roxie Hart’s world moves from prison to the courtroom to the stage.
