An encore for 'Chicago'

Chicago just keeps on rolling. The Bob Fosse musical recently passed 4,300 performances on Broadway, and the tour returns to Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater this weekend. Tom Wopat is playing Billy Flynn (the part Richard Gere had in the movie), just as he did when the show was at the hall in 2005. The onetime Luke Duke on TV's Dukes of Hazzard has become a versatile musical theater performer and was nominated for a Tony Award for his performance as sharpshooter Frank Butler in Annie Get Your Gun. Chicago has five shows Friday through Sunday. $47-$67. (727) 791-7400; www.rutheckerdhall.com.
