Chicago, Teen Edition, will be the Spring Musical for the Knoxville High School. The musical will be under the direction of Heidi Feldman and it will be held March 3, 4 and 5 at the Knoxville Performing Arts Center. Shows March 3 and 4 will be at 7 p.m. while the March 5 event will be at 2 p.m.

Chicago is a Tony Award winning musical that is one of the longest running musicals on Broadway.

Knoxville senior Hayden Hudson plays a lead role in the musical. Hudson, who plays the role of Roxie Hart, tells KNIA/KRLS News, “The best thing about Chicago is that none of the characters are necessarily likable.They are kind of all terrible people in their own ways. So watching them get into these little quarrels and these little issues that they have to work through, it’s kind of funny.” 

Auditions for the musical were held in November. Feldman said there are around 50 Knoxville students who are in the musical, some are working behind the scenes. The musical has lightness and is funny and there is some drama and some iconic music and dancing according to Feldman.
