PHOTOS: Theater Latté Da’s Chicago

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).

Roxie Hart (Britta Ollman, right) makes her opinions known as only bullets can. The wig, makeup, and hair designs – an important part of any period piece – were designed by Paul Bigot. Photo by Dan Norman.
