Auditions Open in Atlanta for Chug-Cago! — A Boozy, Broadway-Inspired Cabaret

Lights, liquor, and legacy collide in Chug-Cago!, a cheeky, cabaret-style parody of the iconic musical Chicago. 🍸🎶 Produced by Acting Under the Influence, this alcohol-infused reinterpretation invites actors, singers, and dancers of all backgrounds and gender expressions to submit their virtual audition.

If you love Fosse, jazz hands, and a splash of sass (and maybe whiskey), this is your moment.
