CHICAGO Comes to Barn Players for Eight Performances Only!

"C'mon babe! Why don't we paint the town?" Entertainment Weekly calls CHICAGO "Broadway's Most Electrifying Show!" Now for 8-performances only, Thursday, March 1st through Sunday, March 11th, the Barn Players bring this modern musical classic to their new home at downtown's Arts Asylum: 1000 East 9th Street, (off Harrison Street), Kansas City, MO 64106.

With a darkly comic book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, and unforgettable music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, CHICAGO is now the #1 longest-running American musical in Broadway history. Set in the rip-roaring 1920s, CHICAGO tells the story of Roxie Hart, a part-time nightclub hoofer who in a fit of rage kills her lover after he leaves her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes her jailhouse rival Velma Kelly, and the whole Windy City by hiring the area's slickest lawyer to engineer her crime into an onslaught of misleading, sensational newspaper headlines.
