All the answers relate to Kander and Ebb's musical "Chicago". BILLY Flynn is the lead male character in "Chicago". AMOS is the name of Roxie's husband. Velma killed her husband and sister becuase she caught them "doing number 17, the spread eagle." FRED Casley is the man that Roxie killed because he wanted to end the affair they were having. Billy has Roxie sit on his lap doing a VENTRILOQUIST act using her as a dummy in "We Both Reached for the Gun". Hunyak, the only one of the girls to get hung, was from HUNGARY. In "We Both Reached for the Gun" Roxie claims she fought Fred "like a TIGER." In "Razzle Dazzle" one of the lines is "Not since the days of old METHUSELAH." In "Class" Mama sings "No one says oops when they're PASSING THEIR GAS."
