The darkish comedy Chicago, which debuted in 1975, is a type of musicals that looks as if it’s been round ceaselessly but by no means loses its sense of sparkle.
In any case, the continued 1996 revival of the traditional is the longest-running present presently on Broadway. It doesn’t harm {that a} 2002 Academy Award-winning movie adaptation launched the infectious songs and memorably devious characters to a complete new technology. Nor does it harm that its shining satire of corruption appears to resonate as a lot at present because it ever did.
Chicago will carry its razzle dazzle into the Majestic Theatre Friday and Saturday. The three-show run is a part of the Broadway in San Antonio sequence.
For the uninitiated, the play follows the shady exploits of a pair of murderous antiheroes, vaudeville star Velma Kelly and refrain woman Roxie Hart, as they compete for fame and an opportunity at acquittal within the Roaring Twenties Windy Metropolis.
$52.65-$312, 7:30 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. and seven:30 p.m. Saturday, Majestic Theatre, 224 E. Houston St., (210) 226-3333, majesticempire.com.
