Chicago at Keegan Theatre

Chicago

Keegan Theatre
1742 Church Street, NW Washington

CHICAGO is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who maliciously murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media, and her rival cellmate Velma Kelly by hiring Chicago's slickest criminal lawyer to transform her crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today's tabloids.

"...If there’s a bulletproof musical, “Chicago” is it. The John Kander-Fred Ebb-Bob Fosse masterpiece has been on Broadway and the road so long you don’t expect to encounter anything but that slinky version that’s been part of the entertainment landscape since the last century, but the Dupont Circle troupe Keegan Theatre has opened a production that’s surprisingly fun — particularly in Maria Rizzo’s Roxie Hart."

"...With its snappy-saucy take on Chicago, The Keegan Theatre shows it knows how to give an audience the ol’ razzle-dazzle. And Keegan has done the durable musical proud. In fact in Keegan’s mounting of the quasi-naughty musical on a bare wood set in a decommissioned church, a case can be made that Chicago’s vaudeville-based storytelling works even better than it would in a glitzy Broadway house."

"...The show is a testament to the power of the music and libretto, which succeeds without big sets and scenery. ”Chicago” is a guilty pleasure challenging our conscience—a cold, heartless musical that is successful in producing outstanding theatre."

"...The entire production is overseen by the capable hands of Keegan’s husband and wife co-directors Susan Marie Rhea and Mark A. Rhea. The Rheas know how to interpret shows from the ground up and Chicago is yet another feather in their cap, a production that showcases the brilliant score and lyrics by Kander and Ebb and Fosse’s fascination with old-time show biz. Gimme that old razzle dazzle any day."

"...Chicago is too important a musical to simply become a carbon copy, which is why Keegan's production must not only be cheered, but supported as well. They could have chosen to replicate what has been done for the last two decades and choose not to. The result is a fresh take on an American classic. So "start the car, I know a whoopee spot. Where the gin is cold, but the piano's hot," and it is Keegan Theatre."
