Seventy-five years before the Broadway musical, the true story of jazz-loving murderess Roxie Hart was brought to the silent screen by legendary Hollywood producer Cecil B. DeMille.

After slaying her lover, Roxie Hart teams up with an unscrupulous lawyer, Billy Flynn, and fellow murderess Velma Kelly, to milk her trial for publicity and become famous. A cracking satire on fame and the media, Cecil B. DeMille’s film is as sensational as the real-life scandal on which it’s based.

Acclaimed silent film pianist Jonny Best returns to Brewery Arts to perform a live soundtrack at the Steinway piano.
