CHICAGO Returns to LA May 15-27 - Starring Christie Brinkley and John O'Hurley

CHICAGO, the winner of six 1997 Tony Awards® including Best Musical Revival, will return to Los Angeles at the Pantages Theatre for a strictly limited two-week engagement May 15 – 27, 2012.

After her critically-acclaimed debut as "Roxie Hart" on Broadway and in London's West End, Christie Brinkley, one of the world's most successful supermodels, will make her highly-anticipated Los Angeles debut this spring as she reprises her killer role in this six-time Tony Award-winning musical smash hit when it plays the Pantages Theatre. Also starring in CHICAGO is television and film personality John O'Hurley as "Billy Flynn".

Now in its 16th year on Broadway, the record-breaking smash hit musical CHICAGO is now the fourth longest-running production in Broadway history. With a legendary book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, CHICAGO is the winner of six 1997 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Cast Recording.

Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, CHICAGO is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago's slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today's tabloids.
