Ottawa ON
"'Chicago' "still GLITTERS HYPNOTICALLY.Ben Brantley,
The New York Times
There's never been a better time to experience CHICAGO,
Broadway's razzle-dazzle smash. This triumphant hit musical is the
recipient of six Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards, a Grammy and thousands
of standing ovations. A sensational tale of sin, corruption and
all that jazz, it's no surprise that CHICAGO has wowed audiences
from Mexico City to Moscow, from Sao Paulo to South Africa. And
now it's coming to your town!
If you're looking for your first Broadway musical
CHICAGO has everything you could want: knockout dancing, an edge-of-your-seat
story and one showstopper after another. If you loved the Academy
Award winning film, nothing beats the live show, and if you are
already intimately acquainted with the musical, experience that
sizzle again, CHICAGO always delivers.
