St. Louis' The Muny Theatre presents its summer production of Chicago June 13-19. Sarah Bowden (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and J. Harrison Ghee (Mrs. Doubtfire, Kinky Boots) reprise their roles as Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly, respectively, after leading last season's production.

Last season's production of the Kander and Ebb musical played an abbreviated run and closed early. It still met success at the St. Louis Theater Circle Awards, winning the Best Musical Award and six others, including direction, choreography, and music direction. The production features direction and choreography by Denis Jones, with co-choreography by Barry Busby and music direction by Charlie Alterman. Chicago is sponsored by Edward Jones.
