Nightclub singer Velma Kelly transports us to a “whoopee spot where the gin is cold but the piano's hot.” Among the patrons at Velma’s club are aspiring singer Roxie Hart and her lover Fred Casely. When Fred tries to leave her later that night, Roxie shoots and kills him: “Nobody walks out on me!” By the end of the song, Velma has also been arreste...
Roxie convinces her husband, Amos, to take the blame for Fred’s murder by pretending he shot an intruder out of self-defense. However, Amos refuses to play along when he learns the dead man was Roxie’s lover. Her song of “love and devotion” to Amos turns sour: “That scummy, crummy, dummy hubby of mine!”
“Pop. Six. Squish. Uh-uh. Cicero. Lipschitz.” In lyrics as unremorseful as they are onomatopoeic, the Six Merry Murderesses of Murderer’s Row at Chicago’s Cook County Jail explain why they killed their partners. Most of the women, Velma included, present themselves as victims of irritating, deceitful, and unfaithful men: “If you’d have been there, ...
Mama Morton, the jail’s matron, operates according to a system of “reciprocity.” As she puts it, “When you’re good to Mama, Mama’s good to you.” For the right price, Mama will do all kinds of favors for her inmates, even connecting them with Billy Flynn, the best defense lawyer in town. Kander and Ebb revealed in their book Colored Lights: Forty Ye...
Thanks to Mama Morton, Roxie engages the services of slick, “silver-tongued” defense attorney Billy Flynn. While Billy, backed by a chorus of showgirls, claims he only cares about love, he actually cares very much about getting his full fee of $5,000. He reveals he is highly skilled at manipulation, especially of the justice system — “twistin' the ...
Mary Sunshine, a journalist covering Roxie’s trial, believes there is good in even the worst of criminals. “Under every mean veneer, there’s someone warm and dear.” Billy refers to Mary as a “sob sister,” a derogatory term for female journalists who wrote sentimental human-interest stories. Several so-called “sob sisters” covered murder trials in 1...
At a press conference for Roxie, Billy depicts his client as a naïve orphan girl seduced by “jazz and liquor” who shot Fred Casely in an act of self-defense. “He had strength and she had none, and yet they both reached for the gun!” Roxie poses as a dummy, controlled by ventriloquist Billy Flynn. Fittingly, this song is also called “The Press Confe...
Foxy Roxie Hart has eclipsed Velma as the most infamous and desirable murderess in town, and she delights in her newfound celebrity. She plans to leverage her fame into a vaudeville act, which Roxie imagines in great detail, down to her bling and her backup singers. “Who says that murder’s not an art?”
In “an act of desperation,” Velma tries to convince Roxie to join her on tour once they are both acquitted. Velma goes through her former routine, which she used to perform with her sister Veronica. She shows off dance steps, corny jokes (“What state’s Chicago in? Illinois!”), and more to show Roxie how great the act is. Roxie is not impressed.
When a woman dubbed “Go to Hell Kitty” commits a scandalous murder, both Roxie and Velma suddenly become yesterday’s news. Velma sings a brief reprise of “I Can’t Do It Alone” in which she compares herself to a jilted bride, emphasizing how completely abandoned she feels.
Chicago was revived on Broadway in 1996, and a year later in the West End. The 1996 Broadway production holds the record as the longest-running musical revival and the longest-running American musical in Broadway history.
