It’s Fall Musical Time at NFA!

Newburgh Free Academy Presents Chicago: Teen Edition
Two Shows Only — Friday, November 14 at 7:00 PM & Saturday, November 15 at 7:00 PM

Tickets can be purchased online at https://nfamusical.booktix.com/
Tickets will also be available at the door starting 1 hour before curtain.

Chicago: Teen Edition is a vibrant, jazz-infused musical set in the Roaring Twenties, following aspiring performers Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly—two rivals on death row who stop at nothing in their quest for fame. This specially adapted version of the Broadway classic features iconic Kander and Ebb hits like “All That Jazz” and “Cell Block Tango,” offering all the style, satire, and spectacle of the original production while remaining appropriate for younger performers and audiences.

NFA's production of Chicago: Teen Edition is directed and choreographed by Mrs. Mandy Clifford (NFA) with vocal direction by Ms. Becky Clina (HMS)

(CHICAGO: TEEN EDITION is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com)

Seating is reserved. Tickets cost $10.00 - ages 12-65 / $8.00 - under 12 or over 65
