About Chicago(musical)
Jef Kratochvil
First staged on Broadway in 1975, *Chicago* has become a durable New York theater fixture, returning in a long-running revival that helped define the stripped-down, dance-forward Broadway aesthetic. Set in the Jazz Age, it follows accused killers who turn the courtroom into a media stage, trading truth for attention. With music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, the show treats corruption and celebrity as parts of the same machinery. Its satirical tone lands hardest when it sounds most matter-of-fact.
