Let the longest-running American musical in Broadway history whisk you away to Chicago, where the jazz age is in full swing.

Chicago - Directed by David Todd of Livid Productions, showing at The Cube Wodonga, is sure to have you singing along to Broadway’s hit songs from John Kander and Fred Ebb’s 1975 musical.

Playing the two main merry murderesses of Chicago’s Cook County Jail are Chantelle Hutchins (Velma Kelly) and Deanna Merriman (Roxie Hart), both defended by suave, slick, and seasoned lawyer Billy Flynn (Corey Cooper).

Audiences familiar with Livid shows will recognise Cooper, a local musical theatre veteran, who most recently starred as Tommy De Vito in Livid’s last years smash hit ‘Jersey Boys.’

Hutchins, a seasoned local dance teacher and choreographer is familiar to the local theatre scene, with roles in AWTCO’s Cats, Livid’s ’Jersey Boys’, and more recently ‘Let It Go’ where she wowed the audiences with her performance and amazing vocals in the opening numbers ‘Greatest Show & This Is Me.’ Hutchins is excited to perform in her first major role of Velma. A dream role for any performer wanting to combine their love of song & dance.

Merriman however will be performing the role of ‘Roxie Hart’ for her debut stage performance. With no onstage singing or acting experience, she walked into the audition only wanting to audition for the dance ensemble. When asked to sing and read some lines, the audition panel were blown away with Merriman’s natural vocal & acting ability. A local dance teacher, who has now opened up her own Dance Academy in Wodonga called 5678, she is really embracing the character of Roxie and is loving exploring all of the sides to Roxie’s character. Although she has found it challenging at times, Merriman has been working really hard and can’t wait to get out on stage in front of a live audience!

With a stellar cast and production team - David Todd Director, Damien Jones Music Director, Caitlin Clarke Choreographer and Lauren Schmutter Vocal Director, this is shaping up to be yet another amazing show for Livid Productions.

A true New York City institution, CHICAGO has everything that makes Broadway great: a universal tale of fame, fortune and all that jazz, one showstopping song after another and the slickest dancing in town.

Chicago will play at The Cube Wodonga from 24th March until 1st April. You can purchase your tickets through www.thecubewodonga.com.au
