Chicago is one of the most iconic American musicals. It currently holds the record for longest-running Broadway Revival, thanks to the dazzling score, captivating story, and sensational dance. Set in the 1920s the show centers on a world of murder, fame, corruption, but most importantly: show business, and song/dance.

The show features a large cast of more than 80 students along with a backstage crew of equal size, working to bring the show to life. The production of “Chicago” highlights the Vaudeville backdrop for the show, which serves as a storytelling device and a platform for the show’s themes: the divide between appearance/reality, the nature of fame, the power of celebrity, and the workings of the justice system.

This production’s cast includes:

• Roxie Hart: Olivia Pierce
• Velma Kelly: Anelise Allen
• Billy Flynn: Evan Wagner
• Amos: Sammy Haines
• Mama Morton: Lea Grace Swinson
• Mary Sunshine: Oliver Leeb
• Liz (“Pop”): Molly Thomas 
• Annie (“Six”): Nicole Thoma
• June (“Squish”): Cheyenne Isaac
• Hunyak (Uh-Uh): Miriam Cubstead
• Mona (“Lipschitz”): Amelia Ickes.
