Reviewed by Barry Lenny, Thursday 8th August 2024. Another production of that very popular, multi-award-winning musical, Chicago, has reached Adelaide, and it opened to a full house of very enthusiastic theatregoers. The musical, which is based on a 1926 play by Maurine Dallas Watkins, takes us back a century to the Roaring Twenties, the era of greater sexual freedom, gangsters, prohibition, flappers, and jazz. She was a journalist and her play is based on real crimes on which she reported in her work. The book is by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, with music by Ebb, original direction and choreography by Fosse, and lyrics by John Kander. It had its premiere in 1975, and this Broadway revival, directed by Walter Bobbie, is from 1996.
