What's CHICAGO about?

In a city where jazz rules the night and fame is the ultimate currency, CHICAGO tells a tantalizing tale of passion, murder, greed, betrayal, and redemption through the journey of two fiercely competitive women – aspiring jazz performer, Roxie Hart and former vaudeville / double-murderess, Velma Kelly.

The musical’s sultry and sassy score includes “All That Jazz”, “Cell Block Tango”, and “Razzle Dazzle”, with 6 Tony Awards, 2 Olivier Awards, a Grammy, and countless standing ovations.
