New York Car Rentals and Chicago on Broadway

Chicago is a tale of greed, murder, and show biz - all the makings of a classic American drama that you can visit with your New York car rental to see a live performance. The story is set during prohibition, and comments on corruption in the criminal justice system and the concept of a "Celebrity criminal".

The story begins with Velma Kelly, a star who shoots her sister when she finds her husband and sister together. Next we see chorus girl Roxie Hart, who convinces her husband to kill a night-club regular. Her husband, Amos, is happy to take the blame for the murder. That is, until he finds out that Roxie and the regular knew each other a little more than just from the nightclub. Roxie goes to jail, where she meets Velma. Roxie steals Vema's limelight. Just as Roxie is let off the hook for her crime thanks to her lawyer Billy, someone pulls an even more spectacular crime for the media and the attention on Roxie is gone.

When Chicago first came to Broadway in 1996, initial excitement over the play was lacking because there had been so many different versions. But after a couple shows it was obvious that people were enjoying it, both critics and audiences. Today, it is the winner of six Tony Awards and is a favorite among audiences. Come see it with your New York car rental. One of the reasons that it may have been so popular when it came out was because the country was in the midst of the O.J. Simpson murder case, and the theme of celebrity criminals was hot on people's minds.
