Set in Prohibition-era Chicago, the musical is based on a 1926 play about actual criminals and their crimes.

"They'll love you a lot more if you hang. You know why? Because they'll sell more papers". When Bob Fosse, John Kander and Fred Ebb presented their jazz-aged masterpiece for the first time in 1975, I doubt they could foresee millions of people tuning in for highlights on the George Zimmerman trial on every major network. Nor could Maurine Dallas Watkins have any way of knowing that her play (CHICAGO is based on it) would be so topical for years to come, after writing it in 1926. But, nearly 90 years later, with trials on every channel and our justice system often in upheaval, it seems to be more relevant than ever. And the Arundel Barn Playhouse's production of CHICAGO proves just why it has endured.

Seacoast Repertory Theatre ignites the Seacoast stage with a sizzling production of CHICAGO that truly is a 'summer must see' for anyone who loves a fast-paced, exciting and professionally performed musical.
