"Chicago is a triumph! It doesn't just give us the old razzle-dazzle; it glows."
Time Magazine
Richard Zoglin
"As much tribute as revival, the spirit of Fosse's genius never leaves the stage, and Chicago, under Walter Bobbie's sharp direction, will dazzle newcomers to the trademark Fosse dance style and provide a thrilling reminder to those who've seen it before just how smart, sexy and exciting this brand of choreography was, or rather, is."
"Incredible talent, beautiful set, humor, intrigue, and a cast that brings life to all the characters. I loved it."

Phenomenal
"The show was absolutely phenomenal! From the beginning of the show you were captivated through the very end of it! Roxie and Velma performances were so realistic. This musical spoke volumes about how life can go from one extreme to the next in a matter of minutes. It depicts how easily people take advantage of others through manipulation, it shows selfishness, and why doing wrong can lead to severe consequences. I would recommend it to others, and I would see it again."

A Gem of a Show
"As a visitor to NY, I was a little disappointed that this show didn't have any "big names" I recognized. However, I was very pleasantly surprised. The cast was top notch, the show was well put together, and the cast was extremely talented. We were in cheap seats up front, but still had great views. It was a great performance of an old favorite.

Boom Shaka Laka!!
"The actors did a great job of holding to the story but giving the characters new life that was different from the movie. The character of Amos hart was AMAZING!! He got the biggest reactions from the crowd. The only negative was that the voices were really muffled at first so if I had not already known the first two songs, I would have no idea what was being said."

An amazing show
"We sat in the 6th row and could see that the actors enjoyed the show as much as we did. They sang, danced and acted with such talent and passion. We enjoyed every minute.
It would have been nice to see captions as I didn't get what they were saying some of the time.
I was a little disappointed that
Ashley Graham wasn't in the play."

Energetic performance!
"Fun and dramatic musical full of excitement and energy. The size of the theatre (not too big, not too small) really adds to the ambience. Show came out to about 2.5 hours with intermission but it did not feel long at all."

Chicago
Set in the legendary city during the roaring “jazz hot” 20s, Chicago tells the story of two rival vaudevillian murderesses locked up in Cook County Jail. Nightclub star Velma’s serving time for killing her husband and sister after finding the two in bed together. Driven chorus girl Roxie’s been tossed in the joint for bumping off the lover she’s been cheating on her husband with. Not one to rest on her laurels, Velma enlists the help of prison matron Mama Morton and slickster lawyer Billy Flynn, who turn Velma’s incarceration into a murder-of-the-week media frenzy, thus preparing the world for a splashy showbiz comeback. But Roxie’s got some of her own tricks up her sleeve…
