S P S V V A P A M E S S A G E F R O M T H E D I R E C T O R WILLIAM KRAFT T O T H E C O M M U N I T Y O F S P S V Dear Bruin Friends and Family, That’s the way we do things in… Chicago! The single line from our performance has informed everything we do in rehearsal. Because truly we’ve never done any production quite like this. The material is new, the dances are highly challenging, and the perpetrator gets away with it! Last academic year, our faculty attended Ministry Days at St. Francis High School in Sacramento. We were encouraged to see posters for “Chicago: High School Edition“! Is this all-girls high school actually producing Chicago!? The revelation was truly an epiphany because we have wanted to do that show for quite some time. I was always hesitant about it since the main character, Roxie Hart, gets away with murder. As we worked through early rehearsals, Roxie’s defeat became clearly a personal defeat because she does not win the fame she truly craves, thus the morality of the play (not Roxie’s actions) is redeemed. So “Chicago” is less of a prosecution of an individual as it is an indictment of our legal system, if not our entire society. Once again, like last year, we have a great crew of singers, dancers, designers, and especially choreographers. Francesca Fogli has truly outdone herself. She is fortunate to have a crew of talented and dedicated performers at her beck and call. Our leads are truly great performers. Each has had studies to maintain, lines and lyrics to memorize, and dances to work through. It is most remarkable that we’ve only been working on this since January 7, just about eight weeks ago. Truly an amazing accomplishment. And our ensemble is second to none. You will truly enjoy tonight’s performance. Enjoy the show, Bill Kraft Department Chair, Visual and Performing Arts St. Patrick-St. Vincent Catholic High School The performance will last approximately two hours, with one intermission. Refreshments will be sold during intermission. For restroom facilities, please use the men and women facilities in the gymnasium lobby.

The first challenge of the choreography was casting the show. The li mited number of actors who could both si ng and dance meant a compromise had to be made between the choreographer and musical director. Faced with only having five trained dancers in the final cast, I not only had to choreograph the dances, but teach the cast how to dance as well. There was also the challenge of stayi ng true to my origi nal concepts of each musical number, while at the same time choreographing to the director's vision and concept. The final challenge was time. I was constantly aware of the fact that I had over ten musical numbers and only fo ur weeks complete the task.

  • Chicago (1927)
    Closing Night Gala Sunday 26th March | Screening 20:00 Chicago Dir. Frank Urson & Cecil B.DeMille (uncredited) | USA | 1927 | 1h 58m With: Phyllis Haver, Victor Varconi, Virginia Bradford Performing live: Stephen Horne (piano, accordion) & Frank Bockius (percussion) Chicago is the thoroughly modern tale of a publicity hungry, headline grabbing anti-heroine, as addicted to her own reflection as today’s popular culture is to the Selfie. Roxie Hart is the iconic free-spirited 1920’s flapper transformed into a destructively willful, reckless, self-centred and amoral media darling. Taken to the extreme, she’s the troubling threat to the establishment posed by a generation of young women flaunting social conventions, dress codes and manners, enjoying sexual freedom, self-determination and demanding what they most want out of life. Phyllis Haver (1899-1960) plays Roxie to perfection in a sparkling performance of devious charm, ruthless determination and brilliant comic timing. Tonight is a rare opportunity to rediscover her talent and celebrate the work of an almost forgotten star. Haver began her career in cinema accompanying silent films on piano, became a Mack Sennett Bathing Beauty and then got her big break as an actress, appearing in over 35 films for the Sennett Studios from 1916-20 before signing with DeMille-Pathé. She worked with some of the most revered artists of her day including Buster Keaton, Lon Chaney, Howard Hawks, Raoul Walsh and D.W. Griffith. There’s no doubt that Haver’s star quality and comedic flair elevate Chicago above a simple black and white morality tale. Her career defining performance was praised by critics as “astoundingly fine”, an impressive combination of “comedy and tragedy”.

Chicago : A Movie Musical Mockery of the Media’s Razzle Dazzle Image of Murder Emily Sulock Sulock 2 Introduction Almost a decade has passed since Rob Marshall’s 2002 movie musical, Chicago , took home the Academy Award for Best Picture. For a movie musical this was a huge success considering that a musical had not won this category since 1969. The film dominated the 2003 Academy Awards as it was nominated for twelve categories, overall winning six. No one had expected the film to do so well since it was three decades in the making after Bob Fosse’s original release of the Broadway musical in 1976.
