Award-winning Ovation Theatre proudly presents "Chicago" opening August 1st in San Marcos. In “Roaring Twenties” Chicago, chorine 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. This sharp-edged satire features a dazzling score that sparked immortal staging by Bob Fosse. Adapted in collaboration with iTheatrics, Ovation Theatre's Chicago has been adapted to remove overtly sexual references and adult language.
