In 1924, vaudeville star Velma Kelly performs ("Overture/All That Jazz") at The Onyx, a Chicago nightclub; the spotlight highlights the empty place where Velma's sister is missing awkwardly from the double act. Seeking stardom, housewife Roxie Hart watches Velma perform as she awaits furniture salesman Fred Casely, with whom Roxie is having an affair because he promised to introduce her to the nightclub's manager. After the show, Velma is arrested for killing her husband and sister, who she had caught in bed together.
