Chicago
On Saturday night, Berta and I went to Wilmington to see Chicago performed on stage at the DuPont hotel using tickets that Mom got Berta for Christmas. I had never seen Chicago before, either on stage or on screen, so this was a new experience for me.
The DuPont is an interesting venue. It’s a hotel in downtown Wilmington with a stage theater inside. There are mezzanine and balcony levels. It’s a tiny little auditorium with tiny seats. I sat with my knees pressed against the chair in front of me and couldn’t move my legs through most of the show. After a while, my hip was in quite a bit of pain, similar to when I drive long distance. No permanent damage done, but still not quite as comfortable as one might like for sitting to enjoy a show.
The musical Chicago is primarily about an exotic dancer in the 1920’s who murders her lover and is eventually - through a series of publicity stunts that woo the public - set free by the court, thanks to her lawyer.
