So, what’s Chicago all about?

With its electrifying choreography, timeless music, and gripping story of fame, fortune and all that jazz, Chicago has become one of the most renowned musicals of all time.

The musical is set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, and follows the tale 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 resorts to duping the public, 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.

Some of the sassy scores that ring out in Chicago The Musical include the show-stopping Razzle Dazzle, Cell Block Tango and All That Jazz – be prepared to have these, and more, stuck in your head long after the curtains fall.

This isn’t the first time the award-winning show has headed to the UAE. In fact, its first run in 2022 was at Dubai Opera, followed by a stint at the Etihad Arena in 2024, which proved so popular that extra dates were added.
