Story

Set in the legendary city during the roaring “jazz hot” 20s, Chicago tells the story of two rival vaudevillian murderesses locked up in Cook County Jail. Nightclub star Velma’s serving time for killing her husband and sister after finding the two in bed together. Driven chorus girl Roxie’s been tossed in the joint for bumping off the lover she’s been cheating on her husband with. Not one to rest on her laurels, Velma enlists the help of prison matron Mama Morton and slickster lawyer Billy Flynn, who turn Velma’s incarceration into a murder-of-the-week media frenzy, thus preparing the world for a splashy showbiz comeback. But Roxie’s got some of her own tricks up her sleeve…

Know Before You Go

Devilish and delightful, Chicago is an indisputable Broadway landmark that utilizes minimal scenery and simple costumes (we’re talking some seriously basic black) to deliver one big musical bang after another. With one great showstopper after the next, John Kander and Fred Ebb’s now-classic score keeps the story moving at a gunshot pace. The scantily-clad dancers tip their bowler hats in tribute to original choreography Bob Fosse, whose moves are still as steamy and sexy today as they were when Chicago first appeared in 1975. For a show that stands chin-deep in dirty deeds, it feels like one helluva good time.

The New York Times

"Chicago still glitters hypnotically! It remains the best adult entertainment in town and still bubbles with the joy of performing!"

The New York Times

Ben Brantley

WCBS-TV

"Chicago is as crazy-fun as ever!"

WCBS-TV

Jess Cagle

The Associated Press

"The show seems to have discovered the fountain of youth. As entertaining as ever. Brash, buoyant and utterly irresistible!"

The Associated Press

Michael Kuchwara

Time Magazine

"Chicago is a triumph! It doesn't just give us the old razzle-dazzle; it glows."

Time Magazine

Richard Zoglin

Variety

"As much tribute as revival, the spirit of Fosse's genius never leaves the stage, and Chicago, under Walter Bobbie's sharp direction, will dazzle newcomers to the trademark Fosse dance style and provide a thrilling reminder to those who've seen it before just how smart, sexy and exciting this brand of choreography was, or rather, is."

An amazing show
"We sat in the 6th row and could see that the actors enjoyed the show as much as we did. They sang, danced and acted with such talent and passion. We enjoyed every minute. It would have been nice to see captions as I didn't get what they were saying some of the time. I was a little disappointed that Ashley Graham wasn't in the play."

Energetic performance!
"Fun and dramatic musical full of excitement and energy. The size of the theatre (not too big, not too small) really adds to the ambience. Show came out to about 2.5 hours with intermission but it did not feel long at all."

Broadway at its Best!
"This show did not disappoint. It is truly Broadway at its Best. The dancing, singing, and surprises along the way were worth every penny. In fact, not only was the cast great, the ushers, bartenders, and bathroom attendants were friendly and incredibly helpful. 10 out of 10 experience!! "

Pleasantly surprised
"I booked this show for my partner who loves musicals. I didn’t expect it to be so entertaining to be honest. The singing was great as was the dancing. The venue is quite small so it didn’t matter that we were on the 2nd balcony. "
