Last Resort Players to present award-winning musical ‘Chicago’


Rouge your knees and roll your stockings down! Oregon Coast stage director David Lauria has announced one of the most exciting fall musicals to be presented by the Last Resort Players: Chicago. The iconic musical score includes one of the most famous opening numbers All That Jazz, along with showstoppers such as Mr. Cellophane, Razzle Dazzle, and Cell Block Tango. This score is fast paced and will leave audiences begging for more.

Chicago takes place in the roaring twenties when chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless love and convinces her hapless husband Amos to take the rap. Awaiting trial, Roxie and another “Merry Murderess”, Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines. The musical is based on a 1926 play of the same name by reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins about actual criminals and crimes she reported on.

For out of town theater attendees, LRP has arranged discount lodging along with some secret menu items available at local eateries. To keep up on the latest details of the production and view our travel deals, visit www.lrpproductions.org
