Cape Henlopen High School Presents Chicago: Teen Edition

Get ready for a night of jazz, drama, and show-stopping performances as Cape Henlopen High School proudly presents Chicago: Teen Edition! This highly anticipated production will run from Thursday, March 13 through Sunday, March 16 showcasing the incredible talents of our students in a thrilling adaptation of the Broadway classic.

Set in the roaring 1920s, Chicago: Teen Edition brings to life the tale of ambition, fame, and justice with iconic characters like Roxie Hart, Velma Kelly, and Billy Flynn. Audiences can expect high-energy dance numbers, dazzling costumes, and the unforgettable music of Kander and Ebb, all while experiencing a student-friendly version of this legendary musical.

“Our students have poured their hearts into this production, and we can’t wait to share their hard work with the community,” said Sadie Andros, director of the show. “Chicago: Teen Edition offers a fantastic opportunity for young performers to shine, and we are excited for audiences to experience this entertaining and thought-provoking musical.”

The cast and crew, composed entirely of Cape High students, have been rehearsing tirelessly to bring this show to life. From the sultry choreography to the powerful vocals, this production promises an unforgettable experience for theater lovers of all ages. “As the stage manager, watching the actors create their characters is a very interesting experience. Even in the ensemble everyone has a story,” said Stage Manager Reagan Hansen. “No one has a small part in this show. I love having a minute without scene changes so that I can pause and watch them all perform!" 

Ensemble member, Laura Ruiz encourages everyone to come out and see the show. "You should come see Chicago because it is a classic musical that everyone knows. Chicago is known for its scandalous style and iconic songs that makes everyone wanting more,” stated Ruiz. “However, the teen edition is just as funny and goofy. The teen-edition musical allows for wider variety of audience members to watch. I have been in 4 high-school musical productions, and Chicago is by far my favorite production."
