Chicago description

Chicago The Musical is the longest-running Broadway musical, thrilling Broadway for more than twenty years. It has also been on stage in London for over two decades, a West End icon. The jazz-led score and Bob Fosse-inspired choreography are legendary. Songs like All That Jazz and Cell Block Tango recognised by millions. Minimalistic stage design makes it particularly raw, an intimate experience with no distractions. The plot is a sharp commentary on the media's role in shaping people's opinions, the meaning of justice, and the pursuit of fame. Add it together and you get an explosive, sexy, impossible-to-resist experience.

A sassy score littered with show-stopper tunes joins a sizzling plot and gorgeous dance to deliver a show that deserves its record-breaking runs, 6 Tony Awards, 2 Olivier Awards, a Grammy, and literally thousands of standing ovations across the globe. You'll be whisked away to the decadent 1920s, where Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer in Chicago, Illinois, kills her lover then does everything she can to manipulate her story and escape jail. A beloved Kander and Ebb masterpiece, it is no surprise this glittering show-stopper has wowed audiences from Mexico to Moscow, South America to South Africa, and everywhere in between.
