“Chicago” is an American musical with music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and book by Ebb and Bob Fosse. Set in Jazz Age Chicago, the musical is based on a 1926 play of the same name by reporter Maurine Dallas Watkins about actual criminals and crimes she reported on. The story is a satire on corruption in the administration of criminal justice and the concept of the “celebrity criminal”.

Supporting character.

Arguably the only kind character in the entire show.

Singing role with a baritone range.

Takes punishment after punishment for his wife, Roxie, only to constantly be badgered and brow-beaten by her. The only character to really lose everything in the entire show, including his wife, his dreams of being a father, and most of his money.
