In roaring twenties Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband Amos to take the rap...until he finds out he's been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess" Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune and acquittal. This sharp edged satire features a dazzling score that sparked immortal staging by Bob Fosse.
The Baby Grand Theatre is transformed into a Jazz Bar, as you sit at curser tables to enjoy the performance and story around you, drink and eat throughout the performance as servers come to you.
Please be advised that there will be the use of strobe lighting in this performance.

What is the Kick & Push Festival?
The Kick & Push Festival creates a new style of summer theatre in Canada by producing and presenting engaging events that challenge an audience to go beyond simply being passive observers. The KP is a new summer experience that offers innovative theatre not to compete with existing summer theatre but to expand upon the strong offerings of theatre in our area. Formed in 2015, this is the second year of the festival, providing innovative theatre experiences from July 15- August 13.
