CHICAGO  JAZZ:

Last chance to see the musical this coming week-end..... and by all accounts they have a great show lined up.   Look out for the hot new          talent  of Michael O'Gorman among others.   He played the drums for the musical for the last few years, but he was also on stage  in U.L. with   the Cecilians in their production of ' The Wiz',  which was a huge hit.    Many of the songs will be familiar - ' All that jazz',  ' When you're good to Mama', ' Mr. Cellophane' and 'Razzle Dazzle '.       The main characters are Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart - both murderess's.    Billy Flynn - the very busy lawyer with a perfect track record.    Amos Hart - Roxie's faithful husband whom nobody pays attention to.   Matron ' Mama' Morton,  the matron of Cook County Jail.   Mary Sunshine - newspaper reporter who follows the trials of Velma and Roxie.                                              Final Dates  -  Friday 18th, Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th Feb at 8.00pm
