Murder in the Windy CityBased on a 1926 play by Maurine Dallas Watkins, Chicago is the spectacular musical - with choreography by the legendary Bob Fosse - which tells the twisted tale of a young chorus girl named Roxie Hart who dreams of finding fame and fortune. After killing her lover in a fit of passion, Roxie is put on trial for murder and realises that becoming a celebrity criminal may just be the big break she has been searching for.
