Harris Center Welcomes The National Tour Of CHICAGO

Long identified with the legendary choreographer Bob Fosse, CHICAGO has been honored with six Tony Awards (including Best Musical Revival), two Olivier Awards, and a Grammy. The #1 longest-running American musical in Broadway history, CHICAGO is set amidst the spectacular decadence of the 1920s; a musical that has all the stuff that makes Broadway memorable: knockout dancing, a ripped-from-the-headlines story about scandal and one show-stopping song after another ("All That Jazz," "Cell Block Tango").

CHICAGO (The Musical) plays eight shows Thursday, March 5; 7:30 pm; Friday, March 6; 2 & 7:30 pm; Saturday, March 7; 2 & 7:30 pm; Sunday, March 8; 1 & 6:30 pm; Monday, March 9; 1 pm. Tickets are $48-$82; Premium $92; 10% Discount For Friday Matinee Single Ticket. Tickets are available online at www.harriscenter.net or from the Harris Center Ticket Office at 916-608-6888 from 12 noon to 6 pm, Tuesday through Saturday (please note new hours), and two hours before show time. Parking is included in the price of the ticket. The Harris Center is located on the west side of Folsom Lake College campus in Folsom, CA, facing East Bidwell Street.

Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, CHICAGO is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who spitefully 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 wicked crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today's tabloids.

With a legendary book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, CHICAGO was the winner of six 1997 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Cast Recording.

CHICAGO is not to be missed. Time Magazine calls it "A Triumph," Newsweek raves "Smashing" and Entertainment Weekly sums it up by calling CHICAGO "Broadway's Most Electrifying Show."

Whether you're looking for your first Broadway musical, or whether you've seen the Academy Award-winning film and want to experience the show live on stage, or whether you've seen it before and want to recapture the magic as never before in the Harris Center's intimate theater, CHICAGO always delivers.
