Chicago is the longest-running revival of a book musical in Broadway history. Neuwirth and Naughton won Tony Awards for their performances, while Lewis was nominated and Reinking earned a Tony for her choreography (which channeled the original choreography of Bob Fosse).

Chicago opened at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on November 14th, 1996; it then played the Shubert before reaching its current home at the Ambassador. Chicago received 6 1997 Tonys (including Best Revival of a Musical) under Bobbie's direction. The revival, based on Bobbie's stylistically stripped-down Encores! staging, featured direction as well as choreography by Fosse in its original 1975 production.

Chicago features a score by John Kander and Fred Ebb, and a book by Ebb and Fosse Chicago currently stars Rita Wilson as Roxie Hart, Obba Babatunde as Billy Flynn, Branda Braxton as Velma, Kevin Chamberlin as Amos Hart, Lillias White as Matron "Mama" Morton, and R. Lowe as Mary Sunshine. On August 22nd, Bianca Marroquin returns to the show as Roxie and R&B star Usher begins performances as Billy.
