Ladies and gentlemen, you are about to see a story of murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery, and treachery – all those things we hold near and dear to our hearts.

Does this sound like a line from a play that has become one of the most popular in Broadway history?  Well, it most definitely is!  The Theater and Music Departments bring you the classic John Kander and Fred Ebb musical Chicago as the fifth annual Bentley production.  Over the years this show that brought fame to choreographer Bob Fosse has enjoyed tremendous success.  With great musical numbers like All That Jazz, Razzle Dazzle, Cell Block Tango, Mister Cellophane and Nowadays how could you miss these performances?
