There’s never been a better time to experience
CHICAGO,
Broadway’s razzle-dazzle smash. This triumphant hit musical is the
recipient of six Tony Awards®, two Olivier Awards,
a Grammy®, thousands of standing ovations and now the #1
longest-running American Musical in Broadway history. CHICAGO has
everything that makes Broadway great: a universal tale of fame, fortune
and all that jazz; one show-stopping song after another; and
the most astonishing dancing you've ever seen. It’s no surprise that
CHICAGO has wowed audiences from Mexico City to Moscow, from Sao Paulo
to South Africa. Whether you're looking for your first Broadway musical,
whether you've seen the Academy Award®-winning
film and want to experience the show live on stage or whether you've
seen it before and want to recapture the magic, CHICAGO always delivers!

Park .” Tony Award-winner Lopez is co-creator of the long-running hit musical comedy, Avenue Q. The musical is choreographed by Tony Award-winner Casey Nicholaw (Monty Python’s Spamalot,

Cameron Mackintosh’s spectacular new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA features newly reinvented staging and stunning scenic design. This new version of
PHANTOM is performed by a cast and orchestra of 52, making
this one of the largest productions on tour in North America. Based on
the classic novel
Le Fantôme de L’Opéra by Gaston Leroux, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
tells the story of a masked figure who lurks beneath the catacombs of
the Paris Opera House, exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit
it. He falls madly in love
with an innocent young soprano, Christine, and devotes himself to
creating a new star by nurturing her extraordinary talents and by
employing all of the devious methods at his command.
