Chicago

Get ready for the University Theatre production of Chicago.

The University of Georgia University Theatre will present Chicago, the world-famous musical about fame, fortune and "all that jazz" on April 12-14 and 18-21 at 8 p.m. and on April 22 at 2:30 p.m. in the Fine Arts Theatre. Originally crafted by John Kander, Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, Chicago at UGA will be directed by Tony award-winning guest artist Chet Walker.

...

Fosse "changed my life forever," Walker said, "and was part of my life from the day I auditioned for him until five minutes before his passing."

Walker describes his pleasure in sharing his own wisdom and skills with a new group of musical theatre students, "just as Mr. Fosse shared with me. His showmanship, his talent as a director/choreographer/writer and his humanity all have influenced the shows he created. ... And his way of working in detail, imagery and layers are all that I want to share every time I work as a director/choreographer."
