Chicago - The Musical New York Performances

Now a long-running fixture of Broadway, *Chicago* returns to the Ambassador Theatre on May 26, 2026. Set in Prohibition-era Chicago, it follows Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly as they navigate murder charges, celebrity press, and a legal system that rewards performance. The musical has been part of New York theater culture since its 1975 Broadway debut and, through its landmark 1996 revival, helped define the modern era of Broadway revivals. Its sharpest observation is how fame can function as a kind of alibi.
