Surrounded by dancers and colorful feathers, Billy Flynn, played by Jacob Koclainis (11), sings the song “All I Care About is Love” in the Stallion Theatre Company's teen-version production of Chicago. The Spring musical follows Roxie Heart, played by Peyton Kirkner (12), a murderer who tries to free herself after being convicted and sent to jail. Billy Flynn, Roxie's defense attorney, paints himself as considerate and thoughtful despite his underlying selfish and greedy motives. This number details Billy’s “only” motivation for being an attorney: his love of women. This proves to be a lie later in the show.
