Summer Film Series: Chicago (2002)

This year’s outdoor film series features three of our favorite musical films from across the decades. All films begin at sundown on Alexander Beach.  

Chicago (2002) 

113 minutes, PG-13; directed by Rob Marshall 

Nightclub sensation Velma (Catherine Zeta-Jones) murders her philandering husband, and Chicago's slickest lawyer, Billy Flynn (Richard Gere), is set to defend her. But when Roxie (Renée Zellweger) also winds up in prison, Billy takes on her case as well—turning her into a media circus of headlines. Neither woman will be outdone in their fight against each other and the public for fame and celebrity. Rain date: Tuesday, July 19, on Alexander Beach.
