Synopsis


If you're looking for razzle-dazzle entertainment...

If you're looking for a night out at the theater you'll remember for years to come...

If you're looking for pure Broadway... then look no further than Chicago!

A true New York City institution, Chicago has everything that makes Broadway great: a universal tale of fame, fortune and all that jazz; one show-stopping-song after another; and the most astonishing dancing you've ever seen.

No wonder Chicago has been honored with six Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards, a Grammy and thousands of standing ovations. It's also no surprise that Chicago has wowed audiences all around the world, from Mexico City to Moscow, from Sao Paulo to South Africa. But the hottest place to experience it is on Broadway. There's always someone fabulous center stage.

Whether you're looking for your first Broadway musical, whether you've seen the Academy Award-winning film and want to experience the show live on stage or whether you've seen it before and want to recapture the magic, Chicago always delivers.

Chicago is a classic. It's the show you can always count on to give you the thrills and memories that only come from seeing a Broadway musical.

Here is what the critics recently had to say:

"Chicago still glitters hypnotically." - Ben Brantley, The New York Times, 2/16/07

"Chicago remains a sizzler - one extremely sex-see experience!" - Michael Sommers, Star-Ledger February 2007

"The show is as crazy-fun as ever!" - Jess Cagle, WCBS-TV/People Magazine

"The most entertaining musical of the decade." -Michael Kuchwara, Associated Press

Children ages 4 and under are not permitted in the theater.

RUSH TICKET POLICY: A limited number of $26.50 rush tickets are available for purchase (cash only) at the box office only, on the day of each performance. There is a limit of two rush tickets per person.

Read what our TM Insiders had to say about Chicago the Musical!

Review: Chicago by babblingwally

I dont understand the hype about this show. I didnt care for it at all. There isnt even any scenery; it is the band in the background. I was just really disappointed.

Review: it's about the music and the choreography ... by morsesline

and this stripped down version of the Broadway musical doesnt disappoint. The leads of the day become almost irrelevant in a production that understands why the original flourished. There are no technical tricks here: its a matter of a first-rate orchestra and dancers who scorch the the boards. With the score and chorus so frequently lost in the modern Broadway musical, its a pleasure to see the people who sustain these theaters out front where they belong. posted on 12/13/2008 at 9:42:00 AM

Review: Chicago by Julia_1472704

One of the best I have seen. Loved every minute of it. Rated teens and up. I am bringing my study abroad student from spain. I think she will love it!

Review: Murder She Acts by Rebecca.Fitzgerald

Add the genius of Fosse choreography with two killer literally leading ladies, and youve got the sexiest show on Broadway! Recommendation: See it before it goes out with a bang!
