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…
"I had seen the show years and years ago. But returned with my wife to see it. Singing and dancing superb. Roxy and Thelma were amazing. But Roxy’s husband is a show stealer - he is an absolute treasure. The “current events” jokes fell flat audience wide and not into the cast trying to interact with the crowd. Want to see the talent on stage and follow the story. The conductor of the orchestra having an “active role” was not impressive. "

Great music, a little underwhelming
"Chicago, starring Alyssa Milano as Roxie, was a fun experience! I think the problem I had with it was just that I have watched the movie so much because it’s one of my favorites, so I constantly compared the actors onstage with the movie, which made it a bit underwhelming. Alyssa was best when she got to show her funny side, and the other actors and dancers were absolutely flawless in their performances. If I had seen this before seeing the movie, I probably would have rated it higher, so if you haven’t seen the movie, go for it and watch this fun show!"

Good Show
"Good show overall with the singing, dancing, and performing. I just wish there were more stage changes (kind of bland). I feel in that aspect felt a little flat for me. "

3.5 🌟
"Chicago is one of my all time favourite musicals. I love the music and choreography. This production was very good but not as grand or impressive as in London on the West End or frankly as the movie. "

Good show but …
"Loved the Cell Block Tango, the humour sprinkled throughout, the Mary Sunshine character as well as the three main characters! Major detractor was the length … many songs and concepts dragged on and on … we get it! The pace would have been much better if the show ended 45 minutes earlier. It would have been a cleaner, clearer paced show. "

Good venue, good seats
"I enjoyed the "coziness" of the venue; it's not so large you feel lost and the seats offer good viewing. The performance, while good, didn't grab me like other plays/musicals I've attended. I don't have any complaints about the performance or performers, just a personal opinion based on my experiences. There is better ticket pricing mid week."

Very good but underwhelming
"Chicago was very good, but a bit underwhelming compared to the heart-filling passion of Hamilton, Les Miserables or Hadestown. Some of the performers looked a bit bored. It was still an honor to see a Broadway classic. "
