Tickets from $80

Details

If you can't find a discount offer that meets your needs then purchasing regular priced tickets might be your best option. The key benefit is that you aren't limited to any discount offer constraints when looking for tickets, and you'll have secured your tickets in advance.
rush

General Rush

Tickets are $49

Details

For Chicago rush tickets, it's first-come, first-served. We suggest arriving early to the Ambassador Theatre box-office, as queues often form before opening. Traditionally, weekdays are typically less competitive than weekends for securing tickets at rush prices.


  • Limited availability for purchase on the day of the performance
  • Limited 2 tickets per person
  • Not available Saturday evenings

If you attempt to purchase rush tickets but have no luck, and if there are still tickets available for purchase, then you could always ask if there's a discount on remaining tickets at the box office. Just something to consider.

Tickets at Ambassador Theatre

The Ambassador Theatre was opened in 1921 by the Shuberts. It was designed by Herbert J. Krapp and is uniquely designed diagonally to fit a maximum number of patrons.


The Shuberts sold the theater in 1935, after which it was used as a movie theater and a TV studio for 20 years. In 1956 the Shuberts bought the theater back, and it has since remained a legitimate theater under the organization's ownership.

Story for Chicago

A true New York City institution, Chicago has everything that makes Broadway great: a universal tale of fame, fortune and all that jazz; one show-stopping song after another; and the most astonishing dancing you’ve ever seen.

No wonder Chicago has been honored with six Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards, a Grammy and thousands of standing ovations in cities all around the world. The musical was also adapted into an Oscar-winning film starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, Richard Gere and Renee Zellweger.

Chicago follows the murder trial of jazz baby Roxie Hart, who kills her lover in a fit of rage. Along the way, audiences meet fellow murderess Velma Kelly, Roxie's sympathetic husband Amos, and Roxie and Velma's shark lawyer, Billy Flynn

Know Before You Go to Chicago

Devilish and delightful, Chicago is an indisputable Broadway landmark that utilizes minimal scenery and simple costumes (we’re talking some seriously basic black) to deliver one big musical bang after another. With one great showstopper after the next, John Kander and Fred Ebb’s now-classic score keeps the story moving at a gunshot pace. The scantily-clad dancers tip their bowler hats in tribute to original choreography Bob Fosse, whose moves are still as steamy and sexy today as they were when Chicago first appeared in 1975. For a show that stands chin-deep in dirty deeds, it feels like one helluva good time.

Critics’ Reviews for Chicago

critics reviews

"Chicago still glitters hypnotically! It remains the best adult entertainment in town; and still bubbles with the joy of performing!"

Ben Brantley, The New York Times
critics reviews

"The show seems to have discovered the fountain of youth. As entertaining as ever. Brash, buoyant and utterly irresistible!"

Mike Kushwara, Associated Press
critics reviews

"As much tribute as revival, the spirit of Fosse's genius never leaves the stage, and Chicago, under Walter Bobbie's sharp direction, will dazzle newcomers to the trademark Fosse dance style and provide a thrilling reminder to those who've seen it before just how smart, sexy and exciting this brand of choreography was, or rather, is."

Greg Evans, Variety
