By: Jessica Fallon Gordon Sep. 02, 2016
Earlier this week, the company of Chicago took their act uptown, to Central Park. To celebrate the musical's 20th Anniversary, fans got to experience the razzle dazzle with a free concert at SummerStage in Central Park. BroadwayWorld was on hand for the special day and you can check out photos below!

Produced by Barry and Fran Weissler, Chicago is the winner of six 1997 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Cast Recording. Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, Chicago is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago's slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today's tabloids.
SummerStage in Central Park is held at Rumsey Playfield, located along East Drive at 69th St. This is a free, non-ticketed event and entrance is granted on a first come, first served basis until capacity is reached. For more information, visit www.CityParksFoundation.org.
Chicago can normally be found on Broadway at the Ambassador Theatre (219 W. 49th St.; New York, NY).
