Chicago

The Mint

CHICAGO Presented by The Liberty Theatre Company October 4-28 at The Mint in Hailey Written by Bob Fosse, Music/Lyrics by John Kander & Fred Ebb Directed by Naomi McDougall Jones Music Direction by R.L. Rowsey Choreography by Sami Bass Tickets at LibertyTheatreCompany.org The Liberty Theatre Company's production of Chicago will be an immersive experience, seating audiences in the den of a 1920's speakeasy and serving up a tall drink of glitz and glamor. Broadway’s longest-running American musical, Chicago is a dazzling and satirical look at fame, justice, and the media machine. Based on real-life murders and trials, Chicago follows Roxie Hart, a wannabe vaudevillian star who murders her lover and is arrested, despite her attempts to convince her pushover husband, Amos, to lie for her. Chicago is a musical spectacular that is as addictive as gossip and as unforgettable as any trial of the century.
