From 21 to 24 June - CHICAGO, the musical

The Grimaldi Forum Monaco will be presenting CHICAGO, the musical, from 21 to 24 June

A true story
The plot is based on a true story that took place in the 1920s.  Roxie Hart, a young chorus girl, murders her lover.  In prison, she meets her idol, Velma Kelly, a jazz singer and double murderer.  Not only does she manage to escape from prison with the help of the famous lawyer Billy Flynn, but also uses her trial to become a showbiz star.

Stars of the stage world
"Chicago" was created by the successful writers of "Cabaret" and "New York, New York" and the legendary choreographer Bob Fosse.  Its sexy, daring cast presents a show full of songs that have become classics of their genre, including "All That Jazz," "Funny Honey," "Mr Cellophane," "Nowadays" and "Razzle Dazzle."

A global hit
That may explain why "Chicago" has been such a global hit from Broadway to London, with a string of international tours, collecting six Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards, a Grammy Award and thousands of standing ovations on the way.
The Times described "Chicago" as the sharpest show in London.  Now it's sure to win over the audiences in Monaco from 21 to 24 June …
