CHIICAGO is now in its 10th sensational year in London, and is now the longest running revival in West End theatre history.
"Still London's sexiest, most sensational musical" Sunday Express, December 2007
Having just celebrated 10 glittering years in the West End the smash-hit musical CHICAGO continues to dazzle audiences night after night. Already the longest running American musical ever to play in London, this multi-award winning production is filled with stunning and unique choreography inspired by Bob Fosse and a sizzling score that includes the classics All That Jazz and Cell Block Tango. It is no wonder The Times calls it "The sharpest, slickest show on the block".
A nightclub dancer... a smooth-talking lawyer... and a cell block of sin; it would be a crime to miss it!
Nightclub dancer, Roxie Hart, kills her lover and lands in Cook County Jail. She meets cell block rival Velma Kelly and, with the help of smooth-talking lawyer Billy Flynn, they vie not only for the headlines but also to keep from death row.
Created by the musical theatre talents of John Kander, Fred Ebb and legendary choreographer, Bob Fosse, CHICAGO's sexy, sassy score includes the hits "All That Jazz", "Roxie", "Cell Block Tango" and "Razzle Dazzle".
