Broadway Review
There is virtually no set in Chicago, so don't go to this particular Broadway musical expecting fancy visuals or bright colors. The appeal of this long-running Broadway revival is its sharp sense of humor, the sexy Bob Fosse-style choreography, and the jazzy tunes by the songwriting team of John Kander & Fred Ebb ("All That Jazz"). Skimpy costumes, suggestive dancing, and sassy anti-heroines who murder without remorse make this musical suitable for more mature audiences.
