The legendary Broadway hit Chicago continues its run at Fountain Hills Theater.

The show opened Sept. 1 and continues through Sept. 17.

The instant that housewife Roxie Hart realized her erstwhile lover had no intention of helping her to vaudeville stardom, “He had it Comin’” when she shot his sorry self.

And thus, Chicago, the musical tale that has it all, love, deception, intrigue, and the lust for fame and fortune bursts on the stage at The Fountain Hills Theater. The longest-running show in the history of Broadway theater has been honored with six Tony Awards, and a Grammy, as well as six Academy Awards (including Best Picture in 2002) and three Golden Globes.

Woven throughout the jazz-paced plot is the plodding journey of Roxie’s loyal and loving husband, Amos. Whipsawed by Billy and the press and discarded without a thought by Roxie, his poignant rendition of the “Mister Cellophane,” song and dance number is a show-stopping triumph.

Fountain Hills Theater Artistic Director Peter J. Hill and choreographer by Noel Irick take the local production one notch higher, using the intimate venue of Fountain Hills Mainstage Theater to weave the audience into the story. Flapper fringe and fedoras--- flash bulbs and sensational press renditions---the audience will be brought to their feet by this totally American musical theater experience, and “All that Jazz.”

Shows are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $35 for adults and $28 for youth 17 and younger. Call 480-837-9661, ext. 3, or visit fhtaz.org to buy tickets.
