Step into the dazzling world of jazz, crime, and sensational headlines with a special movie night at Gorton Center featuring the Academy Award-winning musical Chicago! Directed by Rob Marshall and based on the hit Broadway show, this bold and stylish film delivers high-energy performances, stunning choreography, and a sharp take on fame and justice in 1920s America.

Chicago follows the twisted tale of Roxie Hart (Renée Zellweger) and Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones), two vaudeville performers who find themselves on death row for murder. As both women vie for the spotlight in hopes of escaping the gallows, they engage in a fierce and glamorous rivalry—competing not just for the public’s attention, but also for the services of slick, headline-hungry lawyer Billy Flynn (Richard Gere).

With unforgettable musical numbers like “Cell Block Tango,” “All That Jazz,” and “Razzle Dazzle,” this film combines thrilling visuals with humor and satire. Chicago swept the 2003 Oscars with six wins, including Best Picture, and remains one of the most iconic musicals in modern cinema.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or seeing it for the first time, Chicago promises a night of spectacle, sass, and show-stopping entertainment. Grab your friends, find your seat, and get ready for a movie experience that’s equal parts glitz and grit.
