Chicago’s razzle-dazzle comes to Oklahoma

The national tour of Chicago comes to Oklahoma and it’s pure entertainment. Suave, debonair, award-winning actor and star of stage, TV & film, John O’Hurley stars in the role of “Billy Flynn,” the deviously clever attorney.

Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, Chicago is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who maliciously 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 Flynn, Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer, to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines. Chicago is recommended for mature audiences.

Chicagois the winner of six 1997 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Cast Recording. It is now the longest-running American musical in Broadway history -- and it still shows no sign of ever slowing down!

O’Hurley is an award-winning actor, best known as “J. Peterman” on Seinfeld. After hosting the popular syndicated show Family Feud, he returned to the stage on Broadway in Chicago, as Billy Flynn. He headlined as King Arthur, the head of the Round Table, in Eric Idle’s hilarious musical comedy Monty Python’s Spamalot.
