“This is a dream come true! To have my musical theatre debut be playing the iconic Roxie Hart is so exciting. She is a beautifully complex character, and I cannot wait to bring my ‘Roxie’ to the stage. Looking forward to giving audiences a real ‘razzle dazzle’ of a show!”

The Ultimate Jazz Age Musical
If you haven’t seen Chicago before, you’re in for a glitzy, glamorous night of crime, corruption, and showbiz spectacle. Set in the roaring 1920s, Chicago tells the scandalous story of Roxie Hart, a nightclub dancer who lands herself in jail after killing her lover. Desperate to escape conviction, she hires the smooth-talking lawyer Billy Flynn to turn her trial into a media frenzy—and make her a star in the process.
Packed with iconic songs like All That Jazz, Cell Block Tango, and Razzle Dazzle, this show is a must-see for musical theatre lovers. With its sizzling choreography, sharp wit, and unforgettable tunes, Chicago has rightfully earned its place as the longest-running American musical in Broadway and West End history.
