In “Roaring Twenties” Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap... until he finds out he's been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess," Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune, and acquittal.
"Chicago: Teen Edition" is a version of the musical "Chicago" adapted for high school and youth theatre productions, with modifications to the content to make it suitable for younger casts and audiences. It maintains the core storyline and music of the original but removes or tones down more mature themes and language.
