CHIICAGO is now the longest running revival in West End theatre history.
"Murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery - all those things we hold near and dear to our hearts." So begins the musical Chicago - and creators John Kander, Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse never back off from their bold and sinister promise.
Chicago is the kiss-and-tell tale of Roxie Hart, a chorus girl who kills her lover as a career move; Billy Flynn, a sharp lawyer who turns Roxie into a celebrity; and Velma Kelly, a dancing jailbird with an ear for headlines and an eye for talent. Chicago, winner of six 1997 Tony Awards, including Best Musical Revival, is a loving look back at vaudeville, a timely satire of the justice system, and a reminder of what great theater can be.
