"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."
"You know it's a good show when you feel like you are part of it and, that was my experience when seeing Chicago. I was totally immersed in the show from the second the curtain opened. The singing and acting was top notch and I caught myself wearing a permanent smile through it's entirety. I NEED to see Chicago again! "

Amazing
"Had a great time seeing Chicago. Highly recommend it. The leads will get most of the attention, but I want to give a shout out to the dancers who were in perfect unison the entire performance. I saw another Broadway play last year and they were off the entire time. This group never missed a step. Shout out to Rachel Schur as Roxie, Greg Hildreth as Amos, and John Bell's fabulous acting ability while conducting :)"

An Obvious Classic!
"It was funny, but it was also very sad, and a sharp satire of the justice system of the past and present. The music was catchy, the jokes landed, and the satire was incisive. No wonder it's been around so long!"

A Cabaret inspired play
"The singing and cast were absolutely wonderful. One of the female leads immediately reminded us of Liza Minnelli and the supporting singers were just delightful. A period play set in Chicago with adultery, treachery, and murder."

Amazing show!
"Chicago was one of the best shows I have seen. The quality of every single cast member was a 10. The story and music is fabulous. I brought my 14 year old and it was fine for him, but I don't believe it's a kids show as it contains adult themes and humor. "

About
Chicago
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…
