CHICAGO is BACK IN TOWN, and after 25 years, CHICAGO is still the one musical with everything that makes Broadway shimmy-shake: a universal tale of fame, fortune, and all that jazz, with one show stopping song after another and the most astonishing dancing you’ve ever seen.

CHICAGO is celebrating with the 25th Anniversary Tour that arrives in Madison, Wis. from Tuesday, March 21 through Sunday, March 26 in Overture Hall.

When completed, the three act ballet will stand at the intersection of art and activism, opening a dialogue on the challenging issue of race. Using dance with contemporary circus, film, and theatricality Witness puts America's racial landscape into historical context, combats systematically taught racial biases, and imagines hope for a more equitable future.

Based on the smash-hit movie adored by fans for decades, Priscilla Queen of the Desert the Musical is the heartwarming, uplifting adventure of three friends: Tick, Bernadette, and Adam, a glamorous Sydney-based performing trio who agree to take their show to the middle of the Australian outback. They hop aboard a battered old bus (nicknamed Priscilla) searching for love and friendship but end up finding more than they ever could have dreamed.

After a devastating plane crash, an ordinary group of schoolboys finds itself marooned on an island. At first, it seems as though it's all going to be great fun, but before long, the fun becomes furious, and life on the island turns into a nightmare of panic and death. As ordinary standards of behavior collapse, the world the boys know collapses with them-the world of cricket, homework, and adventure stories-and another world is revealed: one that is both primitive and terrible. Based on the classic book, Lord of the Flies is the tale of how human beings react when their humanity is stripped away.
