"Chicago" (Kenner)

Sept 16-Oct. 2, at the Rivertown Repertory Theatre, 325 Minor St. (504) 468-7221 or www.rivertownrepertorytheatre.org. Tickets are $17 to $35. (Optional dinner is $30 for adults, $15, children.) In roaring ’20s 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 set to death row, Roxie and another “Merry Murderess” Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the “American Dream”: fame, fortune and acquittal.
