Although the national tour of Chicago, currently onstage at Wolf Trap in DC, offers darkly sexy fun and a stunning turn by Michelle DeJean, performances are uneven and the revival itself lacks a bit of sting

By now, just about everyone has seen some form of Kander and Ebb's razzle-dazzle musical Chicago. With a successful revival and an even more successful film, the 1975 musical that lost all its Tony Awards to a little show called A Chorus Line is now a worldwide phenomenon. Currently touring the country (and fresh off a stop in Dubai of all places), I am happy to report that Chicago is in fine shape. Though the Rob Marshall screen treatment is quite good, nothing can touch seeing the acclaimed revival live.

John O'Hurley will play his final performance as Billy Flynn in Chicago at the Ambassador Theatre on Sunday, April 16th, but will be joining the national touring company of the musical for three special engagements in Charlotte, NC, Atlanta and Tampa
