The UT department of theatre and film and the Toledo Repertoire Theatre will stage the Kander and Ebb musical “Chicago” at UT’s Center for Performing Arts. The show runs Aug. 2 and 3, 8-11, 15-18 and 22-25.
The plot is set in Chicago during the Roaring '20s, in the days of flappers, the Charleston, speakeasies and Al Capone. Showgirl Roxie Hart (played by UT graduate Kyra Morris, who has a bachelor of arts degree in theatre) shoots her unfaithful lover and ends up in jail, where she meets Velma Kelly, another chorus girl who, coincidentally, is charged with the murders of her husband and sister. Velma is actually enjoying the limelight, as she is the subject of all media attention, but when Roxie comes along she is suddenly yesterday's news. The two women also battle for the attention of a lawyer named Billy Flynn. The production features rousing songs and dance.
Ticket prices are $20 for “Chicago.” All UT faculty and staff will receive $2 off by showing UT I.D. To order tickets call The Toledo Rep at 419.243.9277, or visit the Rep’s office, 1717 Adams St.
