A few weeks my SL brother Myles Sperber asked
us if we would like to have an invitation of a live performance of The Dramatiques
Performance Troupe, the group where he is one of the performing artists. I did
see the Troupe last year, and loved the show, so I wanted to see there new show.

The Dramatiques presents "BLUE
NOTE". Join us for an exciting vintage-themed evening of upbeat jazz to
celebrate the New Year. Look forward to thrilling live performances,
unforgettable routines, music from the Broadway musical CHICAGO
Murderesses Velma Kelly (a chanteuse and
tease who killed her husband and sister after finding them in bed together) and
Roxie Hart (who killed her boyfriend when she discovered he wasn't going to
make her a star) find themselves on death row together and fight for the fame
that will keep them from the gallows in 1920s Chicago.
Annan, the model for the character of Roxie
Hart, was 23 when she was accused of the April 3, 1924 , murder
of Harry Kalstedt. The Tribune reported that Annan played the foxtrot record
"Hula Lou" over and over for two hours before calling her husband to
say she killed a man who "tried to make love to her". She was found
"not guilty" on May 25, 1924 . Velma is based on
Gaertner, who was a cabaret singer. The body of Walter Law was discovered
slumped over the steering wheel of Gaertner's abandoned car on March 12, 1924 . Two police officers testified that they had seen a woman getting
into the car and shortly thereafter heard gunshots. A bottle of gin and an
automatic pistol were found on the floor of the car. Gaertner was acquitted on June 6, 1924 . Lawyers William Scott Stewart and W. W. O'Brien were models for a
composite character in Chicago, "Billy Flynn."
My favorite quote from Chicago is from the song "Cell Block Tango" where one of the murderesses named June tells:
"I'm standin' in the kitchen, carving up a chicken for dinner, minding my own business, when in storms my husband, Wilbur, in a jealous rage. "You've been screwing the milkman," he said. He was crazy, and he kept on screaming, "You've been screwing the milkman." And then he ran into my knife... he ran into my knife ten times."

On the reservation was written:
Attire: Classy formal (Vintage/Modern) - no ARC restrictions.Now what is classy formal? We had no idea but than I saw this at Utopia:
So we went to the shop and I closed my eyes
when I bought it. (Yes, it was not the regular price I normally pay for my
clothes.) Tim got another set, also at Utopia, to. It took me some time to get it fit
well. But at the end I was ready to go and hoping this was Classy formal
enough.
When we arrived we could take a seat not
far from the stage.
The Crowne Royale looked great.
Although not
all the chairs in the club were occupied there were 58 people on the sim.
