I'm not studying powerplay, but I did consider using chicago.

If you do end up using it, I advise that you use the stage script, and not the film. the film glossed over SO MUCH of the good stuff.

Here's some action that the film missed:

-The Film concentrated on Billy Flynn's manipulation of the media. However, in the stage version, this happens too... but the real gig in a minute is revealed to be Mary Sunshine, who is a guy in drag! The girls and Billy are dancing around, thinking they're the ones holding the strings, but in reality, it's Mary...
