Revival of a Musical (2 hrs., 30 mins.) (Opened 11/14/96)
(Shubert Theatre, 225 W. 44th St., 239-6200)
Tues.-Sat., 8; Wed., Sat. 2; Sun., 3.
This steamy
production of the Kander and Ebb classic was the winner of
six Tonys in 1997, including Best Revival of a Musical. It
tells the story ofRoxie Hart, a struggling chorus
girl who gains notoriety and success on the stage after
she takes the life of her boyfriend. This new "career
move" touches off a complete feeding frenzy that
immediately tranforms the killer into a well-recognized,
almost revered sensation. The shenanigans that surround
her trial, including a suspect attorney and story-hungry
media, mimic real life courtroom drama. This
play is presented at the Shubert Theatre, which formerly
housed the musical A Chorus Line.
