A dark musical comedy, Chicago delivers the answers to the questions above, along with steamy dancing and powerhouse vocals. We follow Velma Kelley (Christine Dulong) and Roxie Hart (Jessi Trauth*), two murderesses with only one thing in common; they both killed in a moment of passion to obtain fame.

The Butte Theater stage has been transformed into a set for music?two musicals, that is. The Fantasticks opened June 5 and filled the theater with favorites from the 1960s.
