Chicago is a 1975 Broadway production based on a play, also called Chicago, that was written by Maurine Dallas Watkins. Watkins reported on criminals for the Chicago Tribune. She reported on several female criminals, for which she based the characters of her play on. The production was widely successful, eventually becoming a film that featured some A list casting. Renee Zellweger played Roxie Hart. Catherine Zeta Jones played Velma Kelly. Richard Gere played Billy Flynn, a lawyer. I personally love that movie, so this book was especially interesting to me. I really enjoyed learning about the original Broadway production and the people behind the characters. I also enjoyed that this was available on Audible Plus!
