Chicago: Teen Edition, WHS Theatre

In “Roaring Twenties” Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap... until he finds out he's been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess," Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune, and acquittal.

As a portrait of our country viewed in a fun-house mirror. It's warped, but no more distorted than our society. No musical currently speaks to and about America's crisis -- and what's wrong with the system -- as effectively as this one.
