CHICAGO the MUSICAL
 

 

        

CAST ANNOUNCED IN WHIDBEY PLAYHOUSE PRODUCTION OF TONY AND ACADEMY AWARD WINNING MUSICAL "CHICAGO"

  

July 14, 2010     

          After auditions were held for the musical "Chicago", director K. Sandy O'Brien has announced the cast. Bringing the characters of "Chicago" to life is Gail Liston as Roxie Hart, Ken Martinez as Amos Hart, Mary K. Hallen as "Mamma" Morton, Allenda Jenkins as Velma Kelly, and Doug Langrock as Billy Flynn. Gaye Litka is Mary Sunshine.  The singing-dancing ensemble includes Jennifer Bondelid, Dara Camacho, Patricia Duff, Nate Edmiston, Ned Farley, Troy Haugen, Tara Hizon, Caitlin Lewis, Darren McCoy, and Erica McCraine.  Allen Young is the Master of Ceremonies.

            Premiering in 1975 and the hit of the 1997 Broadway season, "Chicago" won six Tony Awards and later the Academy Award as Best Picture of the Year,  "Chicago" tells the story of chorine Roxie Hart in roaring twenties Chicago.  She murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband Amos to take the rap...until he finds out he's been duped and turns on Roxie.  Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess" Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune and acquittal.  This sharp edged satire features a dazzling score that sparked immortal staging by Bob Fosse.  A dark parable of American justice, "Chicago" is a sexy musical extravaganza that includes several show-stopping numbers such as "All the Jazz," "Razzle Dazzle" and "Class."

            The musical will be performed at the Whidbey Playhouse, 730 S.E. Midway Blvd in Oak Harbor, September 10-October 3, 2010.  Tickets are $16 and go on sale August 10, 2010.  Groups of ten or more receive a $1 discount on each ticket.  Show times are 7:30 pm for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night performances, and 2:30 pm for Sunday matinees.
