Chicago is a sassy and satirical musical set in the roaring twenties of Chicago. It tells the story of Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly, two murderesses vying for fame and acquittal during a time obsessed with media sensationalism.
The plot revolves around Roxie, a housewife who kills her cheating lover and seeks the help of a cunning lawyer, Billy Flynn, to manipulate the justice system and turn her into a celebrity. Velma, a vaudeville star already convicted for her crime, sees Roxie as a threat to her fading spotlight. The musical unfolds through a series of sharp dialogues, witty lyrics, and dazzling jazz-inspired choreography, all delivered with a healthy dose of cynicism and dark humor.
Chicago is a celebrated musical, having held the record for the longest-running American musical on Broadway until surpassed by The Phantom of the Opera. It has garnered numerous awards throughout its history, including Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Revival of a Musical, and Best Choreography. The show's popularity extends beyond Broadway, with successful tours and revivals around the world.
