CHICAGO which opened to rave reviews on November 14th, 1996, now has the distinction of being the second longest-running musical production currently playing on Broadway, the sixth longest-running production in Broadway history, and Broadway's longest-running musical revival... and shows no sign of ever slowing down!
Murder. Greed. Corruption. Violence. Exploitation. Adultery. Treachery. Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, CHICAGO is the story of
Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who maliciously 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.
Produced by Barry and
Fran Weissler, CHICAGO has become a worldwide phenomenon. With a book by
Fred Ebb and
Bob Fosse, music by
John Kander and lyrics by
Fred Ebb, CHICAGO is the winner of six 1997 Tony Awards including Best Musical Revival and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Cast Recording.
The national tour is directed by
Scott Faris and choreographed by
Gary Chryst.
Walter Bobbie is the director of the original New York Production and
Ann Reinking was the original choreographer in the style of
Bob Fosse. CHICAGO features set design by
John Lee Beatty, costume design by
William Ivey Long, lighting design by
Ken Billington and sound design by
Scott Lehrer. The production also features orchestrations by
Ralph Burns, supervising music direction by

CHICAGO is a production not to be missed. If you've seen it before, this is the
PERFECT TIME to relive the excitement! If you haven't seen it yet, what are you waiting for??
