Chatham High School’s 2025-26 spring musical is Chicago: Teen Edition.  This youth-adapted version of the classic Broadway musical is specially designed for teenage performers while keeping the show’s iconic jazzy style and satirical storyline.  Set in the Roaring Twenties, it follows Roxie Hart, a young woman who dreams of fame as a vaudeville star but ends up in jail after murdering her lover.  There, she meets Velma Kelly, another performer and fellow inmate, who becomes both her rival and inspiration.  With the help of slick lawyer Billy Flynn, both women manipulate the press and the public to gain celebrity status. 

This show contains adult themes and is recommended for audience members ages 13 and up.
