The London production of Chicago has played to an audience of over 4.5 million people at more than 4,000 performances.  The smash hit West End musical Chicago transferred from the Adelphi Theatre to the Cambridge Theatre in April last year.  The Cambridge Theatre was the London home of Chicago, when the first production of the show opened there on April 10, 1979, running for 603 performances.  Chicago became the longest running production ever to play at the Adelphi Theatre on October 17, 2005, replacing the previous record holder Me and My Girl, which had run for 3,303 performances.

Chicago opened at the Adelphi Theatre on November 18, 1997 and won the 1998 Laurence Olivier Award for "Outstanding Musical Production" as well as the 1998 Critics Circle Drama Award for "Best Musical."  Currently playing in New York, and on tour in America and the UK, with forthcoming productions planned in Korea, Japan and Denmark, Chicago is produced in London by the Broadway producers Barry and Fran Weissler.
