A Broadway Classic Returns To The Manila Stage
“Chicago is one of those extraordinary shows that never goes out of style. It’s sexy, sophisticated, provocative and wickedly funny, with incredible music, iconic Bob Fosse choreography, and a story of fame, ambition, scandal, and celebrity that remains as relevant as ever,” shares GMG Productions CEO Carlos Candal in a statement.
Barry Weissler, producer of CHICAGO The Musical, also looks back on the show’s first Manila staging and its return to the venue. “It was such an honor to be chosen as the inaugural production at the grand opening of the Theatre at Solaire back in 2014, so for Chicago to return to Manila next year and take that same stage again is a real homecoming,” he shares.
“We’re delighted to announce the return of Chicago to the Theatre at Solaire in March 2027 as part of its red hot 30th Anniversary global tour,” adds David Ian, Co-Producer of Crossroads Live. “Our incredible company can’t wait to perform Chicago in Manila, home of such an enthusiastic musical theatre audience. Get ready to paint the town!”
About Chicago The Musical
Set in 1920s Chicago, Chicago The Musical follows Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who finds herself on trial for murder. With the help of slick lawyer Billy Flynn, she attempts to turn her crime into a sensational media spectacle, only to find herself competing for the spotlight with fellow inmate and nightclub star Velma Kelly.
With a legendary book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, music by John Kander, and lyrics by Fred Ebb, the musical features iconic numbers including “All That Jazz,” “Cell Block Tango,” “Razzle Dazzle,” and “Nowadays.”
The original production was directed by Tony Award-winner Walter Bobbie and choreographed by Tony Award-winner Ann Reinking, with a creative team including John Lee Beatty, William Ivey Long, Ken Billington, and Ricke Clarke.
A six-time Tony Award-winner, including Best Musical Revival, Chicago The Musical continues to captivate audiences more than three decades after its Broadway revival, earning two Olivier Awards, a Grammy, and countless standing ovations along the way.
