BWW Reviews: CHICAGO at Village Has a Cast of Killers!

I've seen it more times than I care to count. Between the movie version, the still running Broadway revival, the touring productions and copious local productions most people have. And why not? 'Chicago' is one of Kander and Ebb's best and most enduring. So when Village Theatre announced it would be closing their season I thought, 'Oh goodie I get to see it AGAIN!' But Director Steve Tomkins has not only assembled one kick-ass cast but they've put their own little twist on it.

Oh the sex is still there but it's accompanied by a sense of whimsy that makes this production stand apart. (more...)
