"Chicago is a triumph! It doesn't just give us the old razzle-dazzle; it glows."
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."
" The box office crew helped make my experience so special! They were incredible in helping with accommodations and getting us set up for the show.
The cast, crew and orchestra executed each song and dance! "

Great Show!
"This show moved along at a brisk pace and never ever dragged on! Never checked my watch until intermission!
Fun, engaging and full of great surprises!"
"I’ve only seen the movie Chicago so I was not sure what to expect. I loved having the orchestra on stage & interacting with the characters. I loved the simplicity with no real sets & only props. The acting & singing were superb especially the understudy Jeff Sullivan as Billie Flynn.
And the extra songs that were cut from the movie were a real treat. It was much more comical than the movie so it really felt like a different experience. I would highly recommend it to everyone who only knows Chicago the movie. "

Incredible
"Chicago on Broadway was absolutely incredible. The show delivered high energy, sharp choreography, and that classic jazz-era edge that makes it unforgettable. Whitney was phenomenal!! Her stage presence, vocals, and confidence were next level. She truly owned every moment she was on stage. Mark Ballas was amazing as well, simply outstanding, bringing charisma, precision, and intensity to the performance. Overall, it was bold, polished, and so worth it.
I do wish the ushers did a better job at crowd control. There were a lot of people standing up, moving around, and causing distractions during the act, which took away from some of the immersive moments."

Amazing
"I traveled from Chicago to NYC not only see Whitney Leavitt as Roxie Hart on Broadway but see CHICAGO on Broadway. I had never been to Broadway before and the experience was incredible. The actors, the costumes, the atmosphere. I had so much fun.
My only beef is there needs to be more bathrooms lol"
