About the Show
Now in its record-breaking 27th year on Broadway, Chicago continues to razzle and dazzle audiences in New York and around the world.
Fading vaudeville star Velma Kelly is in prison for murdering her husband. Chicago’s best lawyer, Billy Flynn, is set to defend her until aspiring chorus girl Roxie Hart winds up in prison for killing her lover. He takes on both their cases, and Roxie and Velma are thrown into a media circus of headlines, each vying for the spotlight, turning these murderesses into rivals in a fight against each other for fame and fortune.
Based on the 1926 play by Maurine Dallas Watkins (in turn based on the real-life 1924 murder trials of Beulah Annan and Belva Gaertner in the Chicago Tribune), Chicago premiered on Broadway in 1975 with music and lyrics by John Kander & Fred Ebb, and book, choreography, and direction from the legendary Bob Fosse.
The record-breaking revival, which continues to run today, opened in 1996 with direction by Walter Bobbie and choreography by Anne Reinking (in the style of Bob Fosse) and is still receiving standing ovations even after playing over 10,500 performances. The casting of Chicago changes often, and many of your favorite stars regularly get cast for limited runs. Some recent actors who have graced the Ambassador Theatre stage include: Ariana Madix (Vanderpump Rules) as Roxie Hart, Jinkx Monsoon (RuPaul’s Drag Race, Little Shop of Horrors) in her Broadway debut as Matron “Mama” Morton, Pamela Anderson as Roxie Hart, and Tony Award winner James Monroe Iglehart (Aladdin) as Billy Flynn.
Visit the Ambassador Theatre to see why the name on everybody’s lips is still… CHICAGO.
