Set against the backdrop of vaudeville and prohibition, CHICAGO tells the story of Roxie Hart, a wannabe singer who escapes her humdrum marriage for speakeasies and infidelity. After going to jail for the murder of a man she was seeing, Roxie meets famous singer and fellow murderess Velma Kelly, and the two become fast frenemies, vying for the spotlight and the attention of fast-talking celebrity lawyer Billy Flynn, who can Razzle-Dazzle a “not guilty” verdict out of any jury.

CHICAGO features a cast and crew of over 100 students, as well as Band Director Ethan Thomas, Vocal Director Taylor Fritts, Choreographer Sarah Brown (WSHS class of 2021), and director Dan Wiener.

Performances are March 27, 28, & 29, and April 2, 3, & 4 and begin at 7:30 pm.
