Murder, greed, corruption, exploitation, adultery and treachery all those things we love hold near to our hearts. Chicago is one of the most spectacular musicals of our time.
Stage Entertainment production of musical luminaries such as “The Phantom of the Opera, ” “Beauty and the Beast, “”Mamma Mia” and “Cabaret” decides at its 10th anniversary in Spain to present for the first time in our country and for a limited season, the musical which has stood as a landmark for 13 years on Broadway and in London’s West End.
In the Spanish production take over the actresses and singers Marta Ribera as Velma Kelly and Maria Blanco on the role of Roxie Hart, chosen by the international creative team behind the success of CHICAGO worldwide.
More than 300,000 people have been seduced by the magic of Chicago in Madrid since its debut in November at the Coliseum Theatre, Chicago is now on tour and determined to succeed as it has throughout the world to the sound of jazz.
Set amid the extravagant decadence of the 20’s, CHICAGO is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who maliciously murders her lover when he threatens to leave. Desperate to avoid conviction, Roxie deceives the public, the media and his cell mate and rival Velma Kelly, and hires the most skilled lawyer in the city of Chicago, Billy Flynn. This famous lawyer commits his crime in a smokescreen of tabloid-style headlines that can be read today in the journals of scandals. A great story of murder, greed, corruption, adultery, betrayal, sensuality … and all the jazz.
