The original 1975 Broadway premiere of John Kander, Fred Ebb, and Bob Fosse’s 'Chicago' stands as an epochal, revolutionary masterpiece that permanently reshaped the modern musical landscape, running for an astonishing 936 performances at the 46th Street Theatre. Conceived as a pitch-black, vaudeville-infused musical satire of celebrity criminals and media corruption, the narrative tracks Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly as they battle for the front-page headlines of the jazz age. Directed and choreographed with signature genius by Bob Fosse, the legendary original production achieved immortality through the unmatched performances of Gwen Verdon, Chita Rivera, and Jerry Orbach.
