Chicago - The Musical
Advertisement
PG16 (Recommended due to mature themes, violence and suggestive content)
Some women dream of fame. Some are willing to K*ll for it.
Step into the smoky, scandal-soaked streets of 1920s Chicago, where murder is just another headline and fame are the ultimate currency. When wannabe chorus girl Roxie Hart lands herself in Cook County Jail after killing her lover, she discovers that the quickest route to freedom isn't innocence... it's publicity.
With the city's slickest lawyer, Billy Flynn, spinning sensational stories for the press, Roxie transforms from accused murderer into overnight star. But she's not the only woman chasing the spotlight. Vaudeville sensation Velma Kelly has no intention of surrendering centre stage, and in a world where corruption reigns, justice is merely another performance.
This production arrives at a truly special moment in theatre history. November 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of Broadway's legendary Chicago revival, one of the longest-running musicals of all time. As theatres around the world celebrate this remarkable milestone, the George Society of Arts is proud to bring this iconic production to local audiences, making this an unforgettable moment to experience this iconic musical, packed with razor-sharp wit, sultry Fosse-inspired choreography, dazzling costumes, and a score that never lets the curtain fall quietly.
This thrilling new production by the George Society of Arts promises an evening of spectacular entertainment where glamour disguises guilt, applause outweighs justice, and everyone has their fifteen minutes of fame.
Because in Chicago...
If you can't be famous... be infamous.
