Angie Dickinson

Angie Dickinson is a life-long chorus girl who just quit her job of 20 years in the musical Chicago after the producers never let her go on for the role of Roxie Hart. She teams up with three other actors to take up "a cause" to appear selfless. After searching on Twitter for a cause, they find Emma, a teenager from Indiana whose prom was cancelled by the Parent-Teacher Association because she wanted to bring her girlfriend. Seeing the opportunity, and some personal connection, the actors decide to go to Indiana to help.

The actors encourage Emma to step up and become the face of the story, but she is too scared. Angie encourages her by teaching her about zazz, sharing with her a story about Bob Fosse and the original production of Chicago.

Emma and Alyssa show up early to meet with the actors and Principal Hawkins. Just then, Angie receives a message that Tina Louise, the actress who had been playing Roxie, has shingles and they need Angie to go on in the role the following day.
