From The Tuscaloosa News:
Razzle-dazzle, merry widows and all that jazz tap onto the Marian Gallaway stage as the University of Alabama Department of Theatre and Dance presents Kander and Ebb’s Tony- and Oscar-winning musical “Chicago.”
Set in the roaring ‘20s, “Chicago” ponders murder, betrayal, greed, corruption, media manipulation and more, with the stories of singing-and-dancing killers Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly, their slick lawyer Billy Flynn, prison matron Mama Morton and more, through scenes of hot jazz set to various styles of dance. Music is by John Kander, with lyrics by Fred Ebb and book by Ebb and original choreographer Bob Fosse. Some of the familiar numbers in “Chicago” include “All That Jazz,” “Mr. Cellophane,” “Razzle Dazzle” and “Cell Block Tango.”
