Chicago

Here is why we at Broadway Inbound think it's a perfect show for groups:

How far are we prepared to go in the pursuit of fame? What boundaries are we ready to cross on this perilous journey? Chicago compels its audience to reevaluate the meaning of humanity and explore the shadowy recesses of our inner being. Beyond providing a captivating theatrical experience, this musical leaves a lasting impression as you contemplate if justice can ever be truly carried out.

This sizzling Broadway show immerses audiences in the decadence of the 1920s-era Windy City. At the heart of the plot are Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart, two murderesses who find themselves on death row. Through their stories, the musical explores the concept of the "celebrity criminal," as Roxie and Velma strive to turn their notoriety into fame and fortune. With sharp satire, the show tackles themes of manipulation, corruption, and the blurred lines between entertainment and reality. It's a dazzling testament to the allure of show business and a scathing critique of justice being swayed by the court of public opinion.

The powerhouse troupe of dancers in Chicago infuse the production with newfound vitality and charisma through their performances. They are indeed the heart and soul of this iconic show. The original choreography by the legendary Bob Fosse continues to be a defining feature of the show, with his distinctive style recognized as one of the most influential and profound in the entire industry of musical theatre.

A night out at Chicago with a lively bunch of friends promises to be an unforgettable experience. The audacious and satirical undertone of the production gives it a refreshing, distinctive voice in comparison to an overall uplifting Broadway narration. The characters’ strong presence, coupled with an energetic jazz score, guarantees a riveting journey through your emotions until the final curtain call.

As of 2023, Chicago holds the title of the longest-currently-running Broadway musical. Since its premiere in 1975, for many years, the show has consistently been a crowd-pleaser. The most recent rendition of Roxy Heart's story has been on stage since 1996. Thanks to its witty dialogue and universally recognizable songs, Chicago serves as a great introduction for those stepping into the musical theatre scene for the first time. 

Come and see Chicago on Broadway, and you’ll be in for an unforgettable experience. The music grabs you fiercely from the very beginning and leads you fearlessly through the story, and the dance numbers are nothing short of spectacular. Even if you’re not familiar with Broadway musicals, you’ll be able to enjoy Chicago from beginning to end. A visit to the Ambassador Theatre will make for a great memory for you and your group.
