The Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts presents
CHICAGO
Music by John Kander, Lyrics by Fred Ebb, Book by Fred Ebb & Bob Fosse

In roaring twenties Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap...until he finds out he's been duped and turns on Roxie.
Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess," Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune, and acquittal.
Cameron Steens - Performer - Ensemble
Prominently featured as one of the four male presenting dancers in multiple numbers.
Stage Whispers - “This sold-out production is a fitting farewell to this cohort – an excellent show which showcases some wonderful emerging talent.”
Aussie Theatre - “so many reinvented scenes to enjoy and experience and so many standout nods to old vaudeville”
