One of the most dramatic visual scenes in the musical, "Chicago," comes courtesy of Stacy Buck, whose acrobatic maneuvers on the silks are remarkable.

"Chicago" cast member Kat Swager as one of the Cook County Jail Murderesses. She is shown here putting on her fancy flapper headdress (the costumes in this show are fantastic) and in a scene with Donovan Price as Matron Mama Morton.

Come see this amazing, energetic show! Three chances this weekend, two the next.

In perfect unison. Roxie Hart, left, and Velma Kelly sparkle and dazzle for their big number in "Chicago," at the Los Alamos Little Theater. There are only two more weekends to see this show, and it's worth a long drive if you've got one. After all, you get to hear my whistling solo.
