In the Broadway musical Chicago, what is the name of Roxie Hart’s lawyer?

Billy Flynn is Roxie Hart’s lawyer in the Broadway musical Chicago.

Chicago follows Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly, two women accused of murder in 1920s Chicago. Billy Flynn is a celebrity attorney who turns criminal cases into carefully managed publicity spectacles. His courtroom strategy depends as much on newspapers and public opinion as on legal argument.

The musical has a book by Bob Fosse and Fred Ebb, music by John Kander, and lyrics by Ebb. It premiered on Broadway in 1975, with Gwen Verdon as Roxie and Chita Rivera as Velma. Billy Flynn’s featured number, “All I Care About,” presents his polished public image and theatrical approach to law.

Billy is sometimes confused with Amos Hart, Roxie’s awkward but devoted husband. Mary Sunshine is a reporter, while Velma is Roxie’s rival inmate and fellow performer. Chicago’s satirical style deliberately blurs the line between courtroom proceedings and show business.
