CHICAGO is still the one musical with everything that makes Broadway shimmy-shake: a universal tale of fame, fortune, and all that jazz, with one showstopping song after another and the most astonishing dancing you’ve ever seen.

In the whirlwind of Chicago’s Jazz Age, two of the Cook County Jail’s most notorious murderesses—vaudeville star Velma Kelly and chorus girl Roxie Hart—become fierce rivals as they compete for headlines amidst a media frenzy.

Broadway’s longest-running musical has been razzle dazzling audiences for over 28 years, and after more than 10,000 performances, 6 Tony Awards®, 2 Olivier Awards, and a Grammy®, we’re just getting started.

Come on, babe! Head to CHICAGO!
We’re hotter than ever.

From vocal groups in the 1940s like The Mills Bros. and The Ink Spots, rhythm & blues, as well as gospel music, developed into a new style of music called doo wop. The use of non-sense syllables sung by background singers (such as shoo bee doo wop bah dah), the use of a falsetto voice above the melody, and a pronounced bass voice became the basis of this genre. This two-part lecture traces the development of doo wop throughout the 1950s and 1960s with The Ravens and The Spaniels, Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers, The Cadillacs, Dion and the Belmonts, The Penguins, and The Skyliners. We will also look at influential disc jockeys and record promoters who made the sounds mainstream - sounds which now bring back memories of a time when life was not so complex and the emphasis was on good times, simplicity and romance.
