CHICAGO is one of the world's most popular and thrilling smash-hit musicals. After a decade of decadence, CHICAGO is returning for its Australian Premiere at Lyric Theatre, QPAC from 19 March 2009 for a strictly limited season.
CHICAGO has been honoured with 6 Tony Awards®, 2 Olivier Awards®, a Grammy® and thousands of standing ovations. An estimated 17 million people around the world have seen CHICAGO which has played over 15,000 performances worldwide. This is your opportunity to see the multi-award winning production filled with sensational choreography inspired by Bob Fosse and a sizzling score. It's no wonder The Times calls it 'the sharpest, slickest show on the block'.
CHICAGO tells the tale of Roxie Hart, a nightclub dancer who dreams of headlining in Vaudeville, kills her lover, then convinces her husband to come up with the $5000 to hire Chicago's shrewdest, smoothtalking lawyer Billy Flynn.
