A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR (Lin Snider)
Chicago ushered in an era of plays, before The Front Page became a Broadway hit, that were dialogue-heavy but delivered at a fast, snappy clip. The best way to get a feel for what we are looking for is to watch a clip or two from His Girl Friday, such as the one below.
