Chicago

The 'sexiest musical ever' (Metro) is back in Canterbury in 2025.

Written by John Kander, Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse.

Murder, greed, corruption, exploitation, adultery and treachery… all those things we hold near and dear to our hearts. So begins the international multi-award-winning musical, Chicago.

Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, 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 has one show-stopping song after another including Razzle Dazzle, Cell Block Tango, and All That Jazz. Chicago truly is ‘superb’ (Daily Telegraph).

Don’t miss out, book now! It would be criminal to miss it…
