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.

Set in the roaring 1920s, the plot unravels the courtroom drama of two murderesses, Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart. This show is a sharp-witted satire of the corruption within the criminal justice system, infused with humor and a biting commentary on celebrity culture. It's a clever blend of dark comedy and thrilling crime drama that has kept audiences on their toes since the show’s debut nearly 50 years ago.

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.
