Chicago
Chicago is a musical set in 1920s Chicago. Apropos of the time, it has a jazzy score and features the Broadway anthem “All That Jazz.”
The current New York production opened in 1996 and is actually a revival of the original 1975 production. The revival won six Tony Awards in 1997 including Best Musical Revival.
