Entertaining without scruples and murderously glamorous! Staged as an irresistible plunge into the seedy Chicago of the 1920s, the musical classic Chicago whisks audiences into the bustling world of egomaniacal star lawyers and ice-cold wannabe celebrities who'll step over corpses for a taste of fame. Over 6,500 glowing lightbulbs, sparkling costumes, and radiant choreography make Barrie Kosky's production a homage to showbiz and vaudeville. The Broadway musical about two killer-stylish, unbeatable-smart, and calculating women unfolds all its artistic qualities in the original, full orchestral 1975 version.
