“This year marks the 20th anniversary of the show’s Broadway revival,” said director Ralph Pastore. “Not many theaters are given the license to stage this show, and we are lucky to be one of the very few in our area to have the opportunity.”
Carin Friedag, executive producer, said, “Chicago is a great ensemble piece, and we have a 21-member cast filled with familiar faces to those in Fairfield County.”
Musical direction is by Tom Cuffari with choreography by Wilton Conservatory of Dance owner Christine Titus. The cast also features Wilton dentist Dr. James Aris, business owner Maurice (Mo) Segall, and Wilton residents Kasey Luce, Donna Savage, Katie Wingertzahn, and Nikki Scamuffo. It is produced by Wilton’s Janice Dehn.
