About Chicago on Broadway

Everything you need to know about the show.

The 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…

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."

If you loved the movie you'll love it live
"The show was amazing! I fell in love with the musical due to the movie production! This was amazing to see live! I feel it should be on a bigger stage with even more production because it is so amazing! Only note is venue is smaller then I expected and only one set of bathrooms so using it during intermission was basically impossible."

Energetic, lively and engaging
"This show was beyond expectation. The energy was superb and the engagement with the audience very entertaining. Given the reaction from the majoroty of the audience I'm guessing the main characters are famous for other roles. This was my daughter's first experience of a Broadway show and, like me, she thought it was absolutely brilliant."

More Information

Learn more about the show.

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.
