Chicago Finally Cast and Set to Perform in April
Onlookers gather in the Kennedy auditorium.
Kennedy’s theater department has announced the Chicago cast list, posted on Feb. 3.
Chicago is a 1975 American musical set in the jazz age of Chicago. The story is a satire on corruption in the administration of criminal justice.
Prior to the cast list being posted, senior Jake Horton, playing Fred Casely, expressed his excitement for this project.
“It’s a very fun show and I would be very happy and grateful if I got [a role],” Horton said. “I’m always very nervous for auditions because I want to give 110% effort so I don’t leave anything behind.”
The cast list can be found on the Kennedy Theatre Twitter, linked here.
Chicago is a must-see show for its glitz, glamor and wonderful songs! Its large and varied cast is one of the reasons Kennedy as a whole looks forward to the musical in April.
