Directed by EHS Theater Director, Reji Woods, this show is set in the jazz age of the roaring 20s. Chicago: Teen Edition tells the story of Velma Kelly (Susannah Schelling) and Roxie Hart (Riley Frey), two women searching for stardom while also being tried for murder. Both of them land in the Cook County Jail which is run by Matron Mama Morton (Olivia Banks) and plot their comeback to the spotlight and release from prison by hiring slickster lawyer Billy Flynn (Carlos Kohls) and using the press led by Mary Sunshine (Allurah McNally). Amos Hart (Jacob Urrego) is the ever faithful husband of Roxie and tries his best to support Roxie throughout her murder trial. With famous songs entitled “All That Jazz,” “Cell Block Tango” and “We Both Reached for the Gun, ” Chicago: Teen Edition has it all. There’s greed, scandal, betrayal and a dash of razzle dazzle.
