About the Show

A long-running revival of Kander and Ebb's satirical musical about lust, treachery, and murder.

Currently the longest running American musical on Broadway, “Chicago” is the dark but sensuous story of Roxie and Velma, two murderesses behind bars competing for the spotlight. Iconic songs include 'All That Jazz' and 'Razzle Dazzle,' and the choreography is inspired by the late Bob Fosse.

The musical is based on Maurine Dallas Watkins' 1926 play and has music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and book by Ebb and Bob Fosse.

The original production of 'Chicago' opened in 1975 and ran until 1977. The current production has been much more successful, running for over 25 years. It started as as a concert for the City Center Encores! series in 1996 and transferred to Broadway where it is still playing today. Winner of six Tony Awards, including the 1997 Tony for musical revival.
