Broadway San Jose hosts six performances (over four days) of the celebrated crime-and-dames musical Chicago, which first burst out of Broadway back in 1975. (Let’s not forget the 2002 movie version won the Oscar for Best Picture.) The play is the story of two women, Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly, both of whom are murderers of the men who did them wrong. The musical has played around the world pretty much continuously since its debut, and it’s given the world such songs as All That Jazz and Cell Block Tango, among many others. Dress in your best 1920s chic and go see it.
