“More than 10 years into its run and giving no signs of cooling down, ‘Chicago’ remains A SIZZLER – ONE EXTREMELY SEX-SEE EXPERIENCE!” – Michael Sommers, Star-Ledger

“THE SHOW IS AS CRAZY-FUN AS EVER!” – Jess Cagle, WCBS-TV/People Magazine

“The show seems to have discovered the fountain of youth. As entertaining as ever. BRASH, BUOYANT and UTTERLY IRRESISTIBLE!” – Michael Kuchwara, Associated Press (from 2003)

“NOW THAT YOU’VE SEEN THE MOVIE, SEE WHAT STARTED IT – you’ll agree the show is drop-dead brilliant!” – Clive Barnes, NY Post (from 2003)

"THE MOST ENTERTAINING MUSICAL OF THE DECADE" ~Michael Kuschwara, AP

"IT REMAINS, FAR AND AWAY, THE BEST MUSICAL FOR GROWN UPS IN TOWN. IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE THE EXHILARATION THAT WAS BOB FOSSE, CHICAGO REMAINS THE PLACE TO FIND IT." ~Ben Brantley, The New York Times July 7, 1999

"STILL THE BEST DAMN MUSICAL IN TOWN!" ~Liz Smith, Syndicated Columnist

"INSANELY ENTERTAINING." ~Jess Cagle, Entertainment Weekly

"IF YOU’VE ALREADY CAUGHT THIS SHOW, SEE IT AGAIN! THE HOTTEST SHOW IN TOWN” ~Michael Sommers, Newhouse Newspapers

"A MUSICAL FOR THE AGES. THE SEXIEST, MOST SOPHISTICATED DANCING SEEN ON BROADWAY IN YEARS. ‘CHICAGO’ FLIES US RIGHT INTO MUSICAL HEAVEN." ~Ben Brantley, The New York Times

"SOMETHING TO CHEER ABOUT! SMART, SEXY AND EXHILARATING! THIS ONE YOU’VE GOT TO SEE. BROADWAY IS BROADWAY AGAIN!" ~Dennis Cunningham, WCBS-TV

"IT IS BLISS! EDGY, EROTIC, FUNNY AND STYLISH!" ~Linda Winer, Newsday

"Phenomenal!" "Rousing, Roaring feel-good musical of the 1990’s." "A triumph…nothing short of miraculous." "Absolutely smashing company of singers and dancers." "Ann Reinking’s choreography is truly inventive." ~Richard Christiansen, Chicago Tribune

"Witty, incisive, satire." "One smashing number after another." ~Nelson Pressley, Washington Times

"Sin never looked so good, moved so well, or sounded so fine." ~Sister Mary Ann Walsh, The Catholic Standard

"This musical is heaven nowadays. A+." ~Jess Cagle, Entertainment Weekly

"A shot in the arm. A kick in the pants. A jolt of morning coffee!" ~Donald Lyons, The Wall Street Journal

"Wildly entertaining! One boffo number after another. ~Howard Kissel, Daily News

"You’ll have a great time. The super-looking ensemble is a delight!" ~Clive Barnes, New York Post

"Ann Reinking should be canonized for choreography. What more could one ever want?" ~David Patrick Stearns, USA Today

"A brilliant and brassy Bob Fosse production! A musical whose time has come!" ~Michael Kuchwara, Associated Press

"CHICAGO has the qualities seldom found on the Great White Way these days: class, style, wit and a sophisticated skepticism. A sharp eyed, snappy tongued view of celebrity justice!" ~Benedict Nightingale, The London Times

"CHICAGO is astringent and clean, truly proud of its hardness and shine. And shine it does. Bob Fosse decided that we are all going to hell in a handbasket, and, in true big city style, we should love every second of it. CHICAGO makes it easy to do just that." ~Laurie Winer, Los Angeles Times

"A Triumph! A Smashing Broadway Revival!" ~Richard Zoglin, Time Magazine

"Smashing! Ann Reinking’s choreography steals the show. She’s taken Bob Fosse’s vocabulary of angled limbs, pulsating pelvises and writhing bodies and refashioned them into a string of hormonal show-stoppers! It looks like magic!" ~Marc Peyser, Newsweek

"STEAMY! SENSUOUS! SOPHISTICATED!" -TORONTO, The Toronto Sun

"THE SHOW IS AN ABSOLUTE TRIUMPH!" -AUSTRALIA, The Herald Sun
