Chicago The Musical Celebrated 20 Years on Broadway at Central Park’s SummerStage

On August 31, Chicago The Musical celebrated its 20 Years on Broadway with a free performance at the SummerStage in Manhattan’s Central Park.

CHICAGO is the #1 longest-running American musical on Broadway. The winner of six Tony Awards®, two Olivier Awards, a Grammy® and thousands of standing ovations, CHICAGO is an electrifying tale of greed, murder and show biz that’s been seen by over 30 million people worldwide. Filled with hit songs such as “All That Jazz” and “Razzle Dazzle” and featuring sizzling dancing in the style of Bob Fosse, CHICAGO is simply “the best musical in town” (The New York Times).
