Chicago

Chicago
Set in the Windy City in 1927, the show chronicles the exploits of a down-on-her-luck chorus girl as she goes on trial for murder, attracts a media circus, and parlays her dubious notoriety into fame and fortune. If all this sounds a bit like anything that could be found on Court TV today, chalk it up to creators Kander & ebb and Bob Fosse for being way ahead of their time.
