CHICAGO is a dazzling and satirical look at fame, justice and the media machine. Set in 1920s Chicago, this “musical vaudeville” follows Roxie Hart, a past-her-prime wannabe celebrity, and her idol, the famed double-murderess and aging nightclub performer, Velma Kelly. When both acquire the same lawyer, tensions mount as they vie for the spotlight and the headlines.

Dorothy has never left the Kansas Prairie until a tornado whisks her and her dog away to the Land of Oz. She makes an enemy of the Wicked Witch of the West immediately upon her arrival but continues her quest to get back to Kansas with the help of Glinda the Good Witch, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, and the Lion. It takes all of her friends and an encounter with the local Wizard to discover that the power to get home has been inside her all along.

An eclectic group of pubescent kids vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime.

Six spellers enter; one speller leaves triumphant! At least the losers get a juice box! Great songs, great characters, one hilarious night at the theater!

THE BARBER OF SEVILLE Runs July 6-8

CO_The Barber of SevilleTHE BARBER OF SEVILLE
Cincinnati Opera
July 2-9
Music Hall Springer Auditorium [Over-the-Rhine]

Supreme silliness ensues when Figaro, Seville’s most beloved barber, plays matchmaker for his former employer, Count Almaviva. The Count loves Rosina, but she’s the ward of the devious Doctor Bartolo, who has designs on wedding her himself. To win Rosina’s heart, the Count enlists Figaro to cook up disguises, double dealings, and deceits to fool old Bartolo and set Rosina free. Rossini’s beloved comedy reminds us that sometimes, on the path to true love, the last thing you want to be is yourself. Sung in Italian with projected English translations.
