Chicago is still the one musical with everything that makes Broadway shimmy-shake: a universal tale of fame, fortune and all that jazz, with one showstopping song after another and the most astonishing dancing you’ve ever seen.

In the whirlwind of Chicago’s Jazz Age, two of the Cook County Jail’s most notorious murderesses — vaudeville star Velma Kelly and chorus girl Roxie Hart — become fierce rivals as they compete for headlines amidst a media frenzy.

The Naples Philharmonic and Naples Philharmonic Youth Orchestra join forces under the baton of Associate Conductor Radu Paponiu to present one of the most spectacular performances of the season. Featuring prizewinners from the 2023-24 Naples Philharmonic Youth Orchestra Concerto Competition, each performing the piece that earned them their prize, the program culminates with an incredible side-by-side performance by the nearly 100-musician combined ensemble — a true testament to the talent of the students of the youth orchestra and a thrilling experience for the musicians onstage and audience alike.
