In silent movies, Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are a hot item, but behind the scenes, things aren't always as they appear on the big screen! Meanwhile, Lina's squeaky voice might be the end of her career in “talking pictures” without the help of a talented young actress to do the talking and singing for her.

[Production Page] Chicago Book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse Music by John Kander Lyrics by Fred Ebb Based on the play by Maureen Dallas Watkins Script adaptation by David Thompson Directed by Thomas Nickerson Music Direction by Chris Charig Choreography by Jaime Joseph 7 PM Friday, Aug 3 2 PM Saturday, Aug 4 2 PM Sunday, Aug 5 Regent Theatre 7 Medford Street Arlington, MA Tickets: $20 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.
