Photo by Dan Norman. Theater Latté Da’s production of the classic Kander/Ebb/Fosse musical Chicago opens tomorrow at the Ritz Theater in Northeast Minneapolis. Here’s a look at the company’s take on this tale of murderesses, cell block tangos, and the cult of celebrity and scandal in America. Britta Ollmann (center) plays Roxie Hart, whose split-second, hair-trigger reaction to rejection sets the prison-media drama in motion in this musical with a score by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and book by Ebb and Bob Fosse (yes, that Bob Fosse, who also choreographed the original Broadway production).
