The live band was amazing and added the perfect touch to the event. At the end the perfect touch was them throwing out the roses to the audience. It made you feel like you were part of something special.

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
