Chicago is my favourite musical. Seen it 3x's already. I'll see it again when it comes back. Very entertaining, easy to follow, cast was great. Two thumbs up đđź đđź
This was my second time seeing Chicago the Musical and it was just as good as the first time the music is great and all the performer's were spot on
Great performances from entire cast. Singing/dancing was great. Entire Cast, including on stage musicians coordinated well. Enjoy Fosse choreography.
Absolutely, loved it! The jazz band was amazing and the play was funny. Full of great singing and choreography. Saw it twice and will definitely see it again when they come back to Los Angeles!
The show was good, kind of strange that there literally was no set just the orchestra on stage. The audience was terrible. People go to the theater like they are going to the movies now. Dressed barely better than pajamas and constantly getting up. (Actually people get up less at the movies) Most of audience ran out the door during curtain call! So rude to the performers.
Out of all my musical experience, this was the least entertaining.
This was a gift my sisters and I gave to my mom. It was amazing from beginning to end.!! we laughed. We sang and wanted to move in our seats.!!
The show was fantastic. The cast and music were so fun and alive. the chores was great and loved the slower focused routines.
My family of 4 saw this at the Pantages in LA recently. The whole show was incredible. Perfectly polished with stunning performances by every single actor on stage. My kids (12 & 13), who are musical theatre kids, loved the simplicity of the show in terms of the band being right on stage and the minimal sets and props. It was also fun to see the Fosse choreo, which was all gorgeously executed. Wish we could see it again!
My two cents: I was ever so excited to watch Chicago for the very first time since itâs revival back in 1996. Perhaps in the first decade, the show was truly spectacular, spectacular (Iâll never know). I loved the music, of course and I loved the talented cast but what I didnât love was that the background for stage or the stage setting; they brought out props to use but the band was on the stage the entire time. That wouldâve been OK if the stage had changed the scenery every once in a while, but it hardly ever changed! I mean, I loved the band as well; they were a central part of the show! Itâs just that the only real change that took place was at the end performance, when they dropped down a gold Tinsel curtain. I felt a bit disappointed, actually, more than just a bit; I didnât expect to be disappointed at all because I guess I was expecting something along the lines of Moulin Rouge, the musical. The fact that there wasnât any real set design didnât take away much from the music and the talent but didnât add to it either. I just wished it were more exciting and with actual razzle dazzle. Unless or until the whole musical is redesigned, I think I am done. Itâs quite unfortunate because I was planning to watch it again; I was expecting more. Thatâs my 2¢.
Chicago was an amazing experience, the cast . The Pantages was well kept. I had an amazing time.
Absolutely amazing. I don't know why I waited so long. The cast was phenomenal too. The voices, out of this world. Can't wait to see it again.
I admit I am a complete theater buff and will see shows I love many times, though only a few fit into this category, Chicago is one of them. I saw it twice in NYC (once with Anne Reinking) and twice now in LA and I have to say, this production seemed just a tad bit off. But don't get me wrong, it was still highly entertaining and you can never go wrong with anything Bob Fosse creates. I would still recommend this production to anyone, particularly if you are a fan of musicals...
What an amazing show! The whole cast was incredible and entertaining. From the opening of All That Jazz to Hot Honey Rag I loved every minute! I'd love to go again!
One of the very best productions I have seen of Chicago. Wonderful choreography. Super great singers!
Was looking forward to this performance of Chicago. However, the background set never changed. It remained the same throughout the Act 1. Also, the songs were long and followed one after another. There was no intermediate dialogue to break up the songs. After a while all the dance numbers and the songs began to sound the same, because the orchestra remained in the background with no background set change, and all the dancers stayed in the same outfits - black. So it became boring. We left at intermission and did not return. This was a frustrating experience. Not a showstopper performance in any way.
An adequately fine show. The cast are good and perform well, they can be a little too classical theatrical in performance, which doesn't always jell well with the gritty and grimy chicago show. Stage and costume design are cheap and ineffective. It was impossible to distinguish characters during the show until their name was said. The set design was non-existent with no change from venue to venue in the performance. Sound was abysmal for Chicago at the Pantages, it was impossible to hear most performers until they were at full volume and then if there were multiple speakers/singers it became unintelligible noise. There was far too much stage sound being picked up through the microphones and played through the theatre sound system (think actors walking/dancing on the stage and only hearing their heavy steps in stage creaks/bangs, or the creaks of leather dance shoes as actors moved, or at one point the sound of a person dragging/scraping themselves across the stage). It was fine. For the prices being asked, it felt a too much like a factory work like experience.. get people in, give them an adequate, but nothing special or enjoyable experience and pack them off to get the next one. Disappointing overall.
A must see! Great dancing. Superb singing. So fun!
While many gave this a standing O , I found it disappointing (Sunday pm 3/17) From black costumes with solid black background on a barren stage to choreography that was not very creative, the company did not seem to jell as an ensemble. Some very good vocals but overall not EXCITING. If you have seen CHICAGO productions in NYC you may understandâŚ
This show had been on our list to see for a long time and it did not disappoint! The cast was phenomenal and the orchestra on the stage was unexpected and a wonderful touch!
