The multi-award-winning musical Chicago has announced new UK and Ireland tour – and it’s coming to York.
It will play at the Grand Opera House York from Monday 31 May to Saturday 5 June 2027.
Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, 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.
Since it opened in New York in 1996, Chicago has played in 38 countries worldwide, and been performed in English, Dutch, German, Swedish, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Italian, French, Danish, Japanese and Korean.
Worldwide it has been seen by an estimated 35 million people, grossed over $1.8 billion has played over 36,000 performances.
