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.

"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!"

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."

Powerful vocals and fantastic musicians
"Brilliant set showcasing the talented musicians who normally will be in the pit below with powerful vocals . Even though the orchestra was centre stage, it didn't hinder the dancing and stage display of the singers. A must -see !"

Great show!
"The show is amazing and the cast is great. It’s entertaining and astonishing. The coreographies are so good to watch, while you wonder how they’re able to do those things in such little space since the band is on stage the entire time. The continuous break through the fourth wall creates an engaging dynamic that keeps the audience longing for more."

last minute decision + impulse buy= absolutely no regrets
"I’m a musical junkie I try to go to as many as I can a year without breaking the bank. Chicago has always been on my list and I took the chance to see it when I could. It was AMAZING. From the cast to the orchestra, the music to the atmosphere, everything was a 10/10. Such a fun and engaging show. If you’re looking for a show to see next, purchase tickets to Chicago. I promise you’ll have no regrets! "
