CHICAGO. A TRIUMPHANT RUN!

Chicagos run will go down in the history books. And I must say; I bet the show still has some more records to break.

It is just a great show.

WOW - Now I really can't wait to see it. I have plans to go this weekend. This will be my 1st time seeing it on stage and I still haven't seen the movie version because I've been putting it off. I wonder if I will get HOOKED????

chicago has an addicting score...

it has alot of infectious songs. once i went three months with "we both reached for the gun" running non-stop through my head..day AND night. another time it was "cell block tango", then "all that jazz". but that's true for all kander-ebb songs.

seriously, it's a great show and deserves the long run it's enjoying. the film version only solidified what a great show it is and got those who normally wouldn't have gone to the theatre interested enough to go see it on stage.

ENJOY!

I was trying to answer this same question one day and all I could think to say was that it was just plain FUN. It's a fun show, very entertaining, and gives you a very entertaining evening.

The funniest thing was that a couple of weeks ago we were talking about the movie and my mom (80 years old now) overheard us and thought we were talking about the theatre. First thing out of her mouth was "Isn't that a really fun show?"

Because people like it. Because people enjoy repeated viewings. The score is sensational, and the constant cast changes kep it fresh.

---

because it opened 2 weeks after A Chorus Line in its original run. and now everyone is seeing it. not to mention the very successful movie that came out 2 year ago.

The movie did great things for the stage show. It brought CHICAGO to a much wider audience who might not have given the show a second glance had it not been for the movie. (did that make sense? Im sick and heavily medicated lol)

You also have to remember that the Ambassador is a sigificantly smaller house than the Shubert, so it's easier for Chicago to fill it to capacity. The Weisslers' may not be the most favored producers on Broadway, but they certainly seem to know what they're doing if Chicago has stayed open this long... and good for them -- it's kept a few of my friends very gainfully employed and if for nothing else, I'm thankful for that.... as are many other people.
