In a world where celebrity can be more valuable than innocence, Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart compete for the spotlight from behind the bars of Cook County Jail. As their sensational murder cases capture Chicago’s attention, the two women are swept into a flurry of newspaper headlines, courtroom drama and outrageous schemes to outshine one another. Featuring an iconic score packed with Broadway favourites including “All That Jazz,” “Cell Block Tango” and “Razzle Dazzle,” Chicago is a dazzling celebration of fame, ambition and the power of a good story. Sexy, seductive and wickedly funny, it pulses with vibrant Jazz Age energy.
