“DRAMATIC STORY OF A JAZZ CRAZED WIFE”
ComedyDramaCrime
Based on a true story, two-timing boozing wife Roxie Hart kills her lover in cold blood after he leaves her, and finagles her way out being indicted.
VIBE
This is a deliciously cynical ride through a world where morality is fluid and scandal sells. It feels sharp, darkly humorous, and surprisingly modern in its critique of public perception and the sensationalism of crime. A bold, theatrical experience with a biting edge.
