1 Not the Chicago you're looking for  Review by: Eeps, Jun 11, 2011
If you’ve come to London to enjoy great theater, this production of Chicago isn’t it. Having been smitten, over the years, by the quality of theatrical production here; and, having just seen the epic production of Warhorse and the off-off-off production of Ghost Stories, I was particularly enthusiastic for the live, London performance of this bawdy classic. How very, very disappointed we were. Casting strong leads who can command a role is so ... read more

Excellent show - would really recommend it!
I just saw this show in London with Gerry Springer playing Billy Flynn - it was fab - the music, dancing and acting were flawless. I especially liked Amos Hart, he added alot of comedy & empathy to the role. i think its the best show in the west end at the moment
My recommendation:
must see!

4 Liked it!  Review by: hanny, Dec 27, 2007
Chicago was a great show! I really liked it, thought the plot is a bit complicated. In some parts you really have tto pay attention. The set was simple and dark, the dancers were good. Overall I say go see it!
My recommendation:
Go see if you get a chance

5 Who needs the movie - Chicago the musical was great and stood up on its own!  Review by: razzadazzle, Sep 13, 2006
I see that the previous reviewers compared the show to the movie. Maybe that's the problem with movie versions of shows they take some of the magic away.
I personally have never seen the movie, so here is my slightly more objective opinion:
Chicago was briliant. Without having too much on the stage they were able to create this whole world of dark richness. The dancers were excellent, and of course the leading actors were wonderful and ... read more

6 disappointing- just watch the movie  Review by: Matt, Aug 29, 2006
Let me first say that I saw the movie before the show. On that note, despite the wonderful music and story, this production was lackluster. There is pretty much NO set, and the costumes are plain and stingy. Also, the orchestra is on stage, which takes away from the action. While the singing, acting, and dancing was technically good, it lacked energy. It is the only case where I can honestly say I prefer the film over the show.

7 Nothing like seeing a live performance as opposed to the movie  Review by: , Aug 29, 2006
This play was awesome! I saw the movie first but there's nothing like a live performance! I find it much less intriguing to watch a musical on DVD. We went to see this musical in NYV with friends (4 couples altogether) and we all loved it! The music/singing is outstanding!
