The award-winning Chicago, the sexiest musical ever, is coming to the LAC. Created by the talented John Kander and Fred Ebb, with legendary choreography by Bob Fosse, Chicago is set to captivate audiences in Lugano with its rousing, and sensual score, which includes iconic numbers such as Razzle Dazzle, Cell Block Tango and All That Jazz.
Set against the glittering and decadent backdrop of the 1920s, Chicago tells the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who kills her lover when he threatens to leave her. Determined to avoid conviction, Roxie manipulates public opinion, the media and her cellmate, Velma Kelly, enlisting the help of Chicago’s most skilled criminal lawyer, who turns her crime into a flurry of sensational headlines worthy of today’s tabloids.
Since its Broadway debut in 1975, Chicago has captivated audiences and critics worldwide, winning six Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards, a Grammy and thousands of standing ovations.
