Lusher Charter School presents CHICAGO - High School Edition. Directed by A.J. Allegra, Music Directed by Dr. Beth Rota, Choreography by Kali Russell, Technical Design by Patrick McCrea. In roaring twenties Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap...until he finds out he's been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess," Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune, and acquittal. This sharp-edged satire features a dazzling score that sparked immortal staging by Bob Fosse and an Academy Award-winning film by Rob Marshall.
