The Opera House Players will present CHICAGO, THE MUSICAL from February 10 through 26, 2012, at the Broad Brook Opera House, 107 Main Street, Broad Brook, CT.

Murderesses Velma Kelly (a chanteuse and tease who killed her husband and sister after finding them in bed together) and Roxie Hart (who killed her boyfriend when she discovered he wasn't going to make her a star) find themselves on death row together and fight for the fame that will keep them from the gallows in 1920s Chicago. The 2002 movie version of CHICAGO starred Ren
ée Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Queen Latifah, and Richard Gere.
The Opera House Players is a non-profit community theatre, presenting four major musicals each season. The 2011-2012 season will conclude with LA CAGE AUX FOLLES in May. The historic Broad Brook Opera House is an intimate venue with seating for 170.
