“Chic-ag-o with murder and dance and tip tappity tap JAZZ HANDS.” If I’m not mistaken, those are the opening lyrics to the musical Chicago, made famous by the movie that bears the same name. I kid. Chicago was a massive hit long before Queen Latifah ever set foot on the silver screen. How could it not be? It’s the story of Roxie Hart, a murdering housewife/nightclub dancer who has a piece on the side and then doesn’t, because, you know, murder. While Hart’s in jail she manages to create a rivalry with a cellmate, hire the oiliest lawyer around and spin the whole thing into front-page news across the country. Chicago is a musical with some serious high steppin’. It’s won Tonys and Emmys and at 7:30 p.m. Friday you can see it live at Bass Performance Hall starring our very own Dylis Croman, a Booker T. graduate. Additional performances at 1:30 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are available now and start at $49.50. More info at basshall.com
Saturdays, 7:30 p.m.; Sat., April 4, 1:30 p.m. Starts: April 4. Continues through April 4, 2015
