CHICAGO Comes To The Fisher Theatre 3/8-13, 2011

CHICAGO is coming back to Detroit and its PURE ENTERTAINMENT! CHICAGO will be at Detroit's Fisher Theatre March 8-13, 2011! Tickets for the Detroit performance of CHICAGO will go on sale Friday, November 19, 2010 at the Fisher Theatre box office, all Ticketmaster locations, by phone at 1-800-982-2787, and online at www.ticketmaster.com or www.broadwayindetroit.com.

CHICAGO which opened to rave reviews on November 14th, 1996, now has the distinction of being the second longest-running musical production currently playing on Broadway, the sixth longest-running production in Broadway history, and Broadway's longest-running musical revival... and shows no sign of ever slowing down!

Murder. Greed. Corruption. Violence. Exploitation. Adultery. Treachery. Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, CHICAGO is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who maliciously murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago's slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today's tabloids.

Produced by Barry and Fran Weissler, CHICAGO has become a worldwide phenomenon. With a book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, CHICAGO is the winner of six 1997 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Cast Recording.

The national tour is directed by Scott Faris and choreographed by Gary Chryst. Walter Bobbie is the director of the original New York Production and Ann Reinking was the original choreographer in the style of Bob Fosse. CHICAGO features set design by John Lee Beatty, costume design by William Ivey Long, lighting design by Ken Billington and sound design by Scott Lehrer. The production also features orchestrations by Ralph Burns, supervising music direction by Rob Fisher.

CHICAGO is a production not to be missed. If you've seen it before, this is the
PERFECT TIME to relive the excitement! If you haven't seen it yet, what are you waiting for??
