The staging concept departs considerably from the original vaudeville-style staging by Bob Fosse and the minimalist staging created by Walter Bobbie for the current long-running revival.
The 17-member cast features 11 students or recent graduates of NMSU, including Nicole Bartlett as Velma Kelly, Robert Sciortino as Billy Flynn, Marybeth Torres as Mama Morton and Valerie Mirelez as Mary Sunshine. The cast also includes numerous veterans of Las Cruces and El Paso stages, such as David Reyes as Amos Hart, Cindy Pitts as Fred Casely and Taylor Rey as Roxie Hart.
The production is collaboratively directed and music directed by McQueen and Justin Lucero. For more information or to order tickets, visit nmsutheatre.com/chicago.php or call (575) 646-5952.
