As a result of popular demand, a 2 p.m. mat-
inée of the longest-running American musical
in Broadway history, Chicago, has been added
on March 5 at the Van Wezel Performing Arts
Hall in Sarasota, the hall has announced.
With two evening performances nearly sold
out, the Van Wezel was able to schedule the
Wednesday afternoon show to "allow another
full house to enjoy the glitz and glam of the
decadent 1920s," a news release says.
Chicago is the tale of murderous nightclub
dancer Roxie Hart, the release points out.
Winner of six 1997 Tony Awards, including
Best Musical Revival, and the Grammy Award
for Best Musical Cast Recording, Chicago
continues "to leave audiences singing All
That Jazz!," the release adds.
Tickets are priced from $35 to $80. For more
information, call the box office at 953-3368 or
visit VanWezel.org.
