Stoga Theatre presents: Chicago, Teen Edition

Travel back with us to the roaring twenties in Chicago, where chorus girl Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap until he finds out he’s been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie, and another merry murderess, Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the American Dream: fame, fortune, and acquittal. 

One of the longest-running musicals on Broadway, Chicago has been nominated for and won a slew of Tony® and Drama Desk Awards. The Teen edition is adapted from Kander & Ebb's legendary and award-winning musical and features well-known and beloved songs, including “All That Jazz,” “Cell Block Tango,” “Funny Honey” and “Razzle Dazzle.”
