A true Broadway institution, “Chicago” is a universal tale of fame, fortune and all that jazz. Set in the legendary city during the Roaring ‘20s, “Chicago” tells the story of two rival vaudevillian murderesses, Velma and Roxie, who are locked up in the Cook County jail. Not one to rest on her laurels, Velma enlists the help of prison matron Mama Morton and slickster lawyer Billy Flynn. Flynn turns Velma’s incarceration into a media frenzy, thus preparing the world for a splashy showbiz comeback. But Roxie’s got some tricks of her own up her sleeve…

The No. 1 longest running American musical in Broadway history, “Chicago” has amazed audiences all around the world with its show-stopping songs and exciting dance numbers.
