Chicago on Broadway: What to Know Before You Go

Chicago follows Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly through a media circus built around crime and celebrity. The Broadway revival makes the band and the dancers central to the evening.

What feels different onstage

The stage uses a spare setting, with choreography and music doing work the film can handle through editing and location changes. Watch for the way performers address the audience and shift from courtroom or jail scenes into numbers that resemble vaudeville acts.

Practical details

The Broadway production lists a runtime of roughly 2 hours 30 minutes with one intermission. The Broadway League recommends ages 13 and older. The Ambassador’s mezzanine requires stairs. Compare a centered view with an orchestra seat if you need to avoid the climb, and use the production’s official ticket page for the selected performance.
