Chicago, featuring rock and roll superstar Huey Lewis, is presented as a special attraction of the San Francisco 2005-2006 Best of Broadway season, to play the Golden Gate Theatre October 24 through November 5. Chicago is brought to you by Citibank, under the direction of Carole Shorenstein Hays.
This hugely successful Broadway hit musical spawned an Academy Award winning film, won 6 Tony Awards (including Best Musical Revival) and a Grammy Award for its cast recording. Its story of two real life murderesses and a lawyer who turns them into media celebrities is a page right out of today's newspapers. The jazz, the style, the music, and the dancing all add up to an experience that will exhilarate.
Chicago features the "razzle-dazzle" music and lyrics of master Broadway multi-award winning composers
John Kander and
Fred Ebb, with book by Ebb and Bob Fosse. The show also features the Tony Award-winning direction of
Walter Bobbie and the Tony Award winning choreography by
Ann Reinking in the style of the legendary Bob Fosse and re-created by
Gary Chryst.
