CHICAGO: TEEN EDITION

David Green's Musical Theatre University and Palm Springs Art Museum boldly intersect the visual arts with the performing arts as they bring the longest-running musical in Broadway history, CHICAGO:TEEN EDITION, to the museum's main gallery for four not-to-be-missed performances.

CHICAGO:TEEN EDITION, with music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and book by Bob Fosse and Fred Ebb hilariously explores the themes of fame, greed, and the justice system through the story of two women, Roxie Hart, and Velma Kellym. The score includes All That Jazz, Razzle Dazzle, When You're Good to Mama, the Cell Block Tango, and more.

Please join sixteen talented MTU students for this fully staged, full-blown musical production as the Museum's atrium is transformed into a 1920s speakeasy.
