Time Magazine
Richard Zoglin
"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."
"This is one of the best shows we've seen. The actors are excellent and their singing is incredible. It’s a show you shouldn't miss if you come to NY."
"Such amazing talent! Everyone’s voice was outstanding! Dance numbers were exceptional! Loved everything and everyone connected with this musical. Must see!"

Fabulous show!
"The cast was amazing! We went to see it on 8/8:2026 because Mark Ballas is currently playing Billy Flynn. We knew he would be great but he over exceeded our expectations. The whole cast looked like they were having a great time. The theater is comfortable and I really liked that someone came through the theater before the show started to sell refreshments as I hadn’t stopped in the lobby to buy water. I would see this again if I were staying in NYC longer!! OH, and I didn’t expect to be as comical as it was at times - I loved that!! "

A must see on Broadway
"Really enjoyed Chicago! The whole cast was outstanding and the level of talent on stage was incredible. Mark Ballas, Sophie Carmen-Jones and Krysta Rodriguez were especially memorable, but honestly everyone was fantastic. And to make the night even better, we ended up making some new friends afterwards. Such a great Broadway experience!"

A great classic - Hard broadway stile. Love it.
"I really loved the live band, something you don’t find that often in a Broadway show. This is clearly a classic, jazz-driven musical: if you’re looking for a movie-style production, you may want to choose another show. But if you’re looking for the true Broadway spirit, you’re absolutely in the right place!"
