All performers were exceptional! Loved all the singing and dancing. My seat was excellent and had a clear view of stage. It goes without saying , that Mark Ballas was the reason I wanted to see Chicago!! He was great in the performance. After show, Mark signed many autographs and took selfies with enthusiastic patrons. He is a darling!

Chicago was unforgettable because it made me question where the line between truth and performance really is. Every number was bold, energetic, and full of confidence, turning even the darkest moments into unforgettable entertainment. The dazzling choreography, incredible music, and electrifying atmosphere had the entire audience captivated. It wasn’t just a show—it was a thrilling reminder that sometimes the greatest performances happen both on stage and in real life.

The experience was magical. The tickets arrived well in advance, and we received several reminders via email. The venue is located near Times Square, where several shows come together. As for the show, it was spectacular! The theater, the sets, the music, and the artistic performance were all top-notch. The actors and dancers were sublime. An unforgettable moment!!

What made this performance unforgettable was its energy, striking choreography, and strong performances. The chemistry between Roxie and Velma kept the story engaging, while the mix of humor and darker themes left a lasting impression.

We had a great time—the show is amazing. We’ve had the chance to see other shows in other countries, and while the production is simple, the cast is wonderful. Sorry, I was wondering if we could get in touch with an advisor.

Get ready for all that jazz! Chicago on Broadway brings back the razzle dazzle with its Fosse-style choreography, sultry songs, and timeless satire on fame and fortune.

It had always been my dream to see *CHICAGO* on Broadway, so I was in tears right from the overture… It just so happened to be the 30th-anniversary production, and on top of that, the role of Roxie was played by Ivy, an Asian actress— which made me incredibly happy! It was amazing!

A cult musical—the singers are impressive, the staging is wild, and the show is incredible

Still bringing the razzle dazzle after 25 years, the musical plays at the Ambassador Theatre. Book your tickets to Chicago on Broadway now!

The story

In 1920s Chicago, housewife Roxie Hart dreams of fame but finds herself behind bars for murdering her lover. There she meets vaudeville star Velma Kelly, another “celebrity criminal.” With slick lawyer Billy Flynn’s spin, both women turn their trials into showbiz headlines. But as the spotlight grows hotter, who’ll get top billing in this battle for fame and freedom?

Critics reviews

“Chicago still glitters hypnotically! It remains the best adult entertainment in town and still bubbles with the joy of performing!”

- The New York Times

“As much tribute as revival, the spirit of Fosse’s genius never leaves the stage … Chicago will dazzle newcomers and remind veterans just how smart, sexy and exciting this brand of choreography was.”

- Variety
