‘Murder, Greed, Corruption, Exploitation, Adultery, Treachery...all those things we hold near and dear to our hearts’
... so begins Chicago, one of the most phenomenal musicals of our times. Creators John Kander, Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse never back off from their bold, yet sinister, promise. Over a decade on Chicago still remains 'the hottest show in town'
The kiss-and-tell story of chorus girl Roxie who kills her lover; Velma Kelly, the glamorous double-murderer and Billy Flynn, the slick and manipulative lawyer keeping them from death row while promising to make them stars, has all the topicality of our celebrity-seeking times.
Winner of the Olivier Award for Oustanding Musical Production and now the longest-running Broadway musical in the West End, CHICAGO continues to razzle and dazzle audiences with its wit, glamour, style and sensational dance routines. It’s truly a show to die for!
