“Why don’t we paint the town?”
Wheaton Drama, Inc. (WDI) will close its 2009-2010 season with “CHICAGO”.
With music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, this Tony® Award winning musical is based on the 1926 play “ Chicago ” by Maurine Dallas Watkins, based in turn on real-life stories she covered as a Chicago Tribune reporter.
Watch Roxie Hart, Velma Kelly, “Mama” Morton, Billy Flynn, and more bring such iconic songs as “All That Jazz”, “Razzle Dazzle”, “Mr. Cellophane” and “Cell Block Tango” to Playhouse 111 in this sexy and satirical look at celebrity criminals.
Performances of “CHICAGO” are May 28 through June 20, 2010. Shows are Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 3pm. Tickets are $21 each, except Thursdays, which have a special price of $18 per ticket. “CHICAGO” is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
Wheaton Drama’s 2010-2011 season will include “The Drowsy Chaperone”, “Little Women”, “Twentieth Century”, “All My Sons”, and “1776″.
