Prepare yourselves, theater aficionados! The iconic and record-shattering musical, CHICAGO, a Tony Award-winning juggernaut, is making its triumphant return to the revered Golden Gate Theatre in San Francisco. Running for just a fleeting six days—from March 4 to March 9, 2025—this experience promises to be nothing short of spectacular.
What can possibly be said about CHICAGO that hasn’t already been sung? This treasure of the stage encapsulates all that makes Broadway the dazzling wonderland we adore. It’s a universal narrative steeped in the allure of fame, cash, and a rich tapestry of jazz. Countless show-stopping numbers interlace with jaw-dropping choreography to create a sensory feast that’s simply unmissable.
Crafted by the legendary duo of Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, with music composed by the brilliant John Kander, and lyrics that exude wit and sparkle, CHICAGO holds the esteemed title of the longest-running American musical in Broadway history. And it’s not slowing down anytime soon!
Now is your golden opportunity to witness firsthand what has garnered acclaim including six Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards, a Grammy and an avalanche of standing ovations. There’s a reason why the name on everyone’s lips resonates with the rhythm of CHICAGO.
The cast boasts talent worthy of the limelight: Ellie Roddy shines as Roxie Hart, while Taylor Lane captivates as Velma Kelly. The esteemed Connor Sullivan returns as the charming Billy Flynn, joined by Illeana “illy” Kirven as the formidable Matron “Mama” Morton. Rounding out this stellar ensemble are Andrew Metzger as Amos Hart and D. Fillinger as Mary Sunshine, among a host of dazzling performers ready to enchant the audience.
This spectacular tour is helmed by the adept David Hyslop, setting an electrifying pace and bringing choreography by Gregory Butler—who draws inspiration from the original genius of Walter Bobbie and the incomparable Ann Reinking. With breathtaking scenic design by John Lee Beatty, sumptuous costumes by William Ivey Long, and the meticulous sound and lighting orchestrated by seasoned Tony Award winners, audiences are in for an unforgettable ride through the Roaring Twenties.
At its core, CHICAGO tells the gripping tale of Roxie Hart, a nightclub dancer who coolly murders her lover, driven by desperation and ambition. In a feverish quest for notoriety, she manipulates the media, the public, and her fellow con artist, Velma Kelly, using every trick in the book to avoid supposed justice. The headlines that ensue could easily leap from the pages of today’s tabloids, captivating audiences with their bold echoes of reality.
The magic of CHICAGO resonates beyond borders, having mesmerized audiences across 36 countries and welcomed 33 million thrilled viewers since its inception. It’s more than a production; it’s a phenomenon, a celebration of life, love, and the lengths one will go for fame.
