The musical Chicago is based on a play by reporter and playwright Maurine Dallas Watkins, who was assigned to cover the 1924 trials of accused murderers Beulah Annan and Belva Gaertner for the Chicago Tribune newspaper. In the early 1920s, Chicago’s press and the general public became riveted by a series of homicides committed by women. Several high-profile cases arose, which generally involved women killing their lovers or husbands. These cases were tried against a backdrop of changing views of women in the Jazz age. Over the years, many productions of the original play have been mounted, including on Broadway in New York City – which opened in 1975 at the 46th Street Theatre – and in London’s West End theater district.
