A Show for September - "Chicago"

The only theater performance being featured in our area shows up this week (we'll have much more to talk about in October, honest).

The Clay Center in Charleston will host a touring production of the hit musical Chicago on Sept. 24, 2008 at 7:30 p.m.

According to the Clay Center's website:

It's Broadway's most popular musical - a tale of sin and celebrity. And now, you can see it live! Based on the 1926 play by the same name, Chicago took to the big screen in 2002, winning six Oscars and leading to the rebirth of the musical.

Chicago is the story of seductive nightclub dancer Roxie Hart who finds that the road to fame can be a trail of blood. Throw in a cunning lawyer and a bit of razzle dazzle and Roxie goes from cold-hearted killer to the toast of the town.

This show contains mature themes. Tickets for Area A are $58.50; for Area B they're $39.25.
