Ladies and Gentlemen, you are about to hear a story of Murder, Greed, Corruption, Exploitation, Adultery and Treachery. All those things we hold near and dear to our hearts.

In this age of overnight superstars, celebrity crime and those 'famous for being famous' reality TV actors, Chicago's story seems more relevant today than ever before. It's got men who had it coming, and the women who gave it to them:

Velma Kelly - celebrity queen waiting on 'Murderers Row' for doing in her cheating husband and sister, Roxie Hart - ambitious ingenue jailed for shooting her boyfriend during a lovers' spat, Billy Flynn - smooth-talking lawyer with the ole 'razzle-dazzle' and Amos Hart - Mr Nobody who becomes Somebody as he tries desperately to gain the attention and love of his wife Roxie.

Are these women guilty? Does it matter? Velma and Roxie are beautiful and powerful and the show must go on. Some of the most legendary song and dance musical numbers litter the entertaining storyline complete with true show stopping Fosse-inspired choreography: "All That Jazz", "Mister Cellophane", "Cell Block Tango" and "Razzle Dazzle".

So much better than reality TV,right in front of your eyes... PTI's CHICAGO brings these larger than life characters to the stage alongside a full live orchestra - tangible, sexy, seductive and sultry. Starring Jessie Graham (Madame Butterfly, Opera Risque) as Roxie Hart and Rachael Adams (Spring Awakening - Auckland Fringe) as Velma Kelly.

History: Chicago premiered on Broadway in 1975 and went on to receive 10 Tony Award nominations the following year including Best Musical and Best Original Score. The revival in 1996 has become the longest running musical revival in history and has won six Drama Desk Awards, five Critic Circle Awards, and six Tony Awards. In 2002, Miramax made Chicago into a movie starring Hollywood superstars Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Richard Gere, The film, like the musical, has had great success, winning six Academy Awards.
