Globally recognized for its unique jazz-influenced theme, mesmerizing choreography, and minimalist staging style which exhibits the spirit of vaudeville, Chicago boldly criticizes the obsession with celebrity culture.
The revamped musical set in the Roaring Twenties, featuring music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb, and a book by Ebb and Bob Fosse, centers around the themes of corruption, crime, and the allure of fame. After being unveiled on Broadway in 1975, the musical has sparked intense debate and discussion, mainly for its challenging message, and cultural impact.
Like Michael Corleone from The Godfather who phased from an idealistic role to a ruthless and cunning leader, Chicago is a exploration through the phases a person goes through to satisfy one's thirst for fame and fortune.
Chicago demonstrates how even felony can be a means to fame, highlighting the imperfection in the justice system. The depicts how individuals mold themselves, and who they are to reach their ultimate selfish goal. This production became groundbreaking from the start for revolutionizing the criminal game and introducing new roles of "women" to the genre. The 1996 Broadway production held the record as the second-longest-running American musical in Broadway history.
Chicago tries to showcase the shallowness of fame, and the inconsistency between good deeds and status, demonstrating that not all famous people are successful in the sense of morality. The show sums up various individuals each performing for their personal interest, and how they intersect with each other's lives, through different viewpoints.
The production has received countless awards including the Tony Awards (1997), Drama Desk Awards (1997), Grammy Awards (1998), Academy Awards (2003), Golden Globe Awards (2003), BAFTA Awards (2003), and many others.
