welcome to syosset high school theatre arts!!!!!!

Set in 1920s Chicago and based on a play of the same name which chronicled real-life murders and trials, Chicago follows the path of Roxie Hart, a wannabe vaudevillian star. Roxie murders her lover and is arrested despite her attempts to convince her pushover husband, Amos to lie for her. In the Cook County Jail, Roxie meets her hero, the famed double-murderess and nightclub performer Velma Kelly. When both acquire the same lawyer, the greedy superstar Billy Flynn, tensions come to a head as the two women compete for the spotlight. The ever-thickening plot also serves as a background for outstanding vocal performances of memorable songs, including “All That Jazz,” “Cell Block Tango,” “Me and My Baby,” and “Razzle Dazzle,” to name a few.
