Thomas has made her Broadway debut, making history as the first Asian-American performer to assume the role of "Mama" Morton. Chicago, the second-longest-running show on Broadway and continues to run at the Ambassador Theatre. Since its debut, it has been performed in 36 countries and is enjoyed worldwide.
It is Prohibition Era in Chicago and vaudeville performer Velma Kelly is stuck behind bars in the Cook County Jail, awaiting trial for murdering her cheating husband and sister. Fortunately, she has Billy Flynn on her defense team, a famed lawyer with a perfect track record, and a master at manipulating public opinion in favor of his clients. Everything is looking rosy until Roxie Hart turns up. Accused of killing her lover, Roxie is a fame-hungry wannabe, who immediately sets about stealing both Velma's limelight and her lawyer.
Each battling for their 15 minutes of fame, the women go head to head in the race to become Chicago's most notorious criminal and escape the rope.
The musical, considered too dark when it failed in 1975, today seems right in keeping with hard-learned cynicism about the American justice system.
