Bob Fosse’s idiosyncratic choreography is as big a part of the magic of the Chicago musical as the songs by Kander and Ebb. Probably moreso – it isn’t possible to think about Chicago, the stage musical or the hit movie version, without images of Velma and Roxie and their pals in all black doing those stylized, sexy dance moves.
Coming up on 50 years since the slinky jazz-age musical first appeared on Broadway, it’s back onstage at the Straz Center in Tampa through Sunday (times and tickets here). The national touring company is performing in Morsani Hall.
