Chicago 50 - No. 33 - Roxie

Gwen in "Roxie" during the out-of-town try-out in Philadelphia.

The costume for Gwen in the "Roxie" number changed from a tunic and belt during the out-of-town try-out in Philadelphia, to a black beaded mesh outfit on Broadway. The neon sign used for this set was designed by Tony Walton and after Chicago closed, the sign was reinstalled at Studio 54. To learn more about this, read here.
