Chicago the Musical

Music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and script by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse.

The longest-running musical currently on Broadway is coming to Latvia!

On this European tour, the audience can enjoy the original Broadway production, with a cast of outstanding performers selected from the West End and Broadway elite. With their unparalleled skills and magnetic stage presence, each cast member will bring their own unique style to the iconic roles of Roxie Hart, Velma Kelly, Billy Flynn and the other unforgettable characters who live in the world of “Chicago”.

Step back in time to the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s and witness a mesmerising tale of crime, passion and fame as Chicago embarks on its long-awaited European tour. Known as one of the most iconic Broadway productions of all time, this award-winning musical promises an unforgettable theatrical experience.

Chicago is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today’s tabloids.

Created by the musical theatre talents of John Kander, Fred Ebb and legendary choreographer Bob Fosse, CHICAGO’s sexy, sassy score 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.

Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy the spectacular experience of “Chicago” as it takes Europe by storm!
