The longest-running musical currently on Broadway is coming to Malta!

On this European tour, the audience can enjoy the original Broadway production,

with a cast of outstanding performers selected from the West End and Broadway elite.

With their unparalleled skills and magnetic stage presence, each cast member will bring

their own unique style to the iconic roles of Roxie Hart, Velma Kelly, Billy Flynn and the

other unforgettable characters who live in the world of Chicago.

Step back in time to the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s and witness a

mesmerising tale of crime, passion and fame as Chicago embarks on its long-awaited

European tour. Known as one of the most iconic Broadway productions of all time, this

award-winning musical promises an unforgettable theatrical experience.

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 includes the show-stopping

songs “Razzle Dazzle”, “Cell Block Tango”, and “All That Jazz”. Winner of six Tony

Awards, two Olivier Awards and a Grammy, CHICAGO is the longest running American

musical in Broadway and West End history.

Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy the spectacular experience of Chicago as it takes

Europe by storm!
