CHICAGO The Musical Comes to The Fulton Theatre

The Fulton Theatre swings into the new year with one of Broadway's longest running musicals, Chicago. Opening on January 24, 2019, the Fulton's distinctive production of Chicago is set to be the hottest show of the season, and will channel the alluring luster of 1920's vaudeville. Featuring a two story band stand, flying jail cells, and set elements that extend into the audience, Chicago is sure to be a spectacle so alluring it should be criminal. The dazzling set was designed by Adam Koch, who recently wowed audiences with his set design for Fulton Theatre's The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The Fulton's costumes are a departure from the simple all-black garb of the Broadway revival. Featuring glistening sequins, feathers, and boas, the Fulton's costumes epitomize one of the show's most iconic numbers, "Razzle Dazzle". The exquisite costumes are designed by Fulton regular, Ryan J. Moller, who has crafted wardrobes for some of the Fulton Theatre's biggest shows including Disney's Beauty and the Beast and Robin and Clark's Treasure Island, A Musical Adventure.

The cast is led by Broadway's Jessica Lee Goldyn (A Chorus Line (Val/Cassie), Hello Dolly!, Finding Neverland, Tuck Everlasting, On The Town (Ivy Smith) as Roxie Hart, Heather Parcells (Tuck Everlasting (Mae Tuck u/s); Finding Neverland; Wonderland (Manhatter u/s); A Chorus Line (Judy, OBC); Soul Doctor; Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Travis Taylor (National Tour: The Phantom of the Opera, Fulton Theatre: Treasure Island, The Hunchback of Notre Dame) as Billy Flynn.
