A touring production of the sexy, darkly satirical musical Chicago—set in the Roaring 1920s, otherwise known as the era of bootleg booze—comes to Folsom this week. Actor Maxwell Caulfield, who played the character Billy Flynn in long-running productions of the show in London and on Broadway, reprises that role. The production, which made its debut in 1975, is based on a 1926 play by the same name and smartly takes on criminal corruption, murder and Jazz Age feminine mystique. The musical’s Bob Fosse choreography still remains a Broadway hallmark. 8 p.m. Thursday, March 23, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Friday, March 24, and Saturday, March 25, 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sunday, March 25; $49-$89.
