Upper School to Perform “Chicago”

This weekend, Upper School Theater will perform the Teen Edition of America's longest running Broadway hit, Chicago, written by famed director and choreographer Bob Fosse and song-writing duo John Kander and Fred Ebb. Set in the titular city during the roaring twenties, Chicago tells the story of heroine Roxie Hart who 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. While awaiting their trials, 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.

Parental Discretion Advised: Chicago contains some adult language and themes, as well as some images of violence. This production is not suitable for children under 13.

Performances will be held in the Langstaff Auditorium, on Friday, February 24, 6:30 pm, and Saturday, February 25, at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm. Tickets are free of charge, but reservations are required. Cast members will be taking reservations during lunch periods. Reservations can also be made by emailing Stephanie Miller with the preferred date and performance time. We ask that all tickets be picked up 15 minutes before the show begins. Shuttles will be available and dinner will be provided for students staying for the Friday show.
