Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, Chicago is created by John Kander, Fred Ebb and legendary choreographer Bob Fosse, with a sexy, sassy score that includes the show-stopping songs “Razzle Dazzle”, “Cell Block Tango”, and “All That Jazz”.

Winner of six Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards and a Grammy, Chicago is the longest running American musical in Broadway and West End history.

Chicago, which is based on the play by Maurine Dallas Watkins, has a book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb. The current 1996 Broadway revival of CHICAGO is choreographed by Ann Reinking in the style of Bob Fosse, directed by Walter Bobbie, and produced by Barry and Fran Weissler.
