Adapted in collaboration with the Bob Fosse estate, Kander & Ebb's legendary and award-winning musical about fame, fortune and acquittal has made some slight adjustments to the original script so "Chicago" can be performed by high schools around the world. "Chicago: Teen Edition" has been adapted to remove overtly sexual references and harsh language while maintaining the music and dance excellence that have made this a "killer" musical for 50 years! If this musical was a film it would be rated PG-13 for some language and discussion of murder.
Director Mike Copen states, "We are so excited for our community to see this incredible piece of musical theatre! It's an incredible piece of dark satire about fame and fortune that still speaks to the world today. The students have been working so hard to perfect the Bob Fosse choreography, and our live, pit orchestra sounds fantastic on the difficult Kander & Ebb score. All of the students involved are going to impress everyone who attends. It's just a great show that I know our school community will love"!
