Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You

We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.

Some theater never gets old — especially when bawdy singing, sultry dancing and a bygone era are in the mix. Such is Chicago, marking it’s 40th anniversary. The play’s setting takes it back 50 years further to prohibition-era Chicago, a time when jazz was swinging and, according to the press, women were mostly getting away with murder.

Jazz it up in Chicago, 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 27, at Gammage Auditorium, 1200 South Forest Avenue in Tempe. Tickets are $45 to $170. Visit asugammage.com or call 480-965-3434.

Fri., March 27, 7:30 p.m., 2015
