Cicero-North Syracuse High School is pleased to announce their spring musical, ‘Chicago: High School Edition’. The production takes place on Thursday, March 17, Friday, March 18; and Saturday, March 19 at 7:00pm in the high school auditorium. In collaboration with iTheatrics and Concord Theatricals, Broadway’s longest-running American musical, ‘Chicago: High School Edition’ is a dazzling and satirical look at fame, justice, and the media machine. Set in 1920’s Chicago and based on real-life murders and trials, ‘Chicago: High School Edition’ follows Roxie Hart, a wannabe vaudevillian star who murders her lover and is arrested, despite her attempts to convince her pushover husband, Amos, to lie for her. In the Cook County Jail, Roxie meets her hero, the famed double-murderess and nightclub performer Velma Kelly. When both acquire the same lawyer, Billy Flynn, the greedy and lustful superstar, tensions come to a head as they vie for the spotlight-- though instead of onstage, they’re mugging for the flashbulb of the newspaper reporters. With catchy music and timeless lyrics by John Kander and Fred Ebb, and a funny, intelligent, and utterly engaging book by Kander and Bob Fosse, ‘Chicago: High School Edition’ is a musical spectacular that is as addictive as gossip rags and as unforgettable as any trial of the century. |
