| What is The Play Chicago About |
A Tale of Two Murderesses
Let's get one thing straight: Chicago is not a documentary about the Windy City's deep-dish pizza (though that's a whole other level of delicious). This show is a sassy, sultry, and slightly scandalous musical about two ladies who, let's just say, had a bit of a problem with their partners. We've got Roxie Hart, a wannabe starlet who accidentally offs her lover, and Velma Kelly, a vaudeville queen serving time for a double homicide. Talk about a room full of talent!
QuickTip: Return to sections that felt unclear.
Cell Block Blues with a Beat
Now, you might be thinking, "Murder? Really? That's a bit dark." And you're absolutely right. But fear not, dear reader, because Chicago isn't your typical sob story. It's a sizzling satire of the justice system, media obsession, and the American Dream. It's about fame, fortune, and the lengths people will go to for a little spotlight. All wrapped up in a dazzling package of jazz, dancing, and killer costumes.
QuickTip: Focus more on the ‘how’ than the ‘what’.

More Than Meets the Eye
But Chicago is more than just a guilty pleasure. It's a sharp-tongued commentary on society's fascination with crime and celebrity. It asks questions about morality, justice, and the blurred lines between reality and performance. And it does it all with a wink and a smile.
Tip: Take a sip of water, then continue fresh.
So, is it worth seeing? Absolutely! If you enjoy a good laugh, some toe-tapping tunes, and a healthy dose of irony, Chicago is the show for you. Just remember, it's not your grandma's musical.
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
