Enter a world of jazz, crime and razzle-dazzle with CWRU Footlighters‘ rendition of the beloved Broadway classic, Chicago. Set in the 1920s and based on real events, this satirical show follows wannabe jazz stars, Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly, who get their fame not just for their singing or dancing talent, but for committing murders that make sensationalized headlines all across the city of Chicago.
The Footlighters will perform March 30 and 31 at 8 p.m. and April 1 at 7 p.m. in Eldred Theater. Doors will open 30 minutes prior to the showtime. Tickets, which are free to all Case Western Reserve University students, will be available for purchase at the door.

About Footlighters
The CWRU Footlighters is a group dedicated to bringing musical theatre to the students of Case Western Reserve University and the surrounding community. Operating under Media Board, the Footlighters perform both big-name shows (such as Legally Blonde: The Musical, Into the Woods, and Little Shop of Horrors) as well as lesser known shows (Company, Merrily We Roll Along, etc.). From directing, designing, and acting to playing in the pit, building the stage, and managing, the Footlighters is a completely and exclusively student-run and student-produced group founded in 1998.
