Chicago - The Musical Reviews

Vickie Seabon from Rochester, New York

SEXY, ENERGETIC, ENTERTAINING

The actors were original with great voices. You could feel the energy in every movement. The singing was chilling and the acts seemed impromptu. There was lots of spice in the performance that kept both men and women on the edge of their seats. Moma was a secret treat who really played the part. It was a performance that made the audience want more. I love the diversity and beauty in all aged and races. It is definitely an adult show with all sorts of humor. I love it, love it, love it! This is a must-see!

CHICAGO- OUTSTANDING!!

I've seen the movie and the musical on stage once before- this was SO MUCH BETTER! Christina Wells as "Mama" blows it outta the park!! This woman is a multi-talented dynamo-- I knew she could sing-- I mean- REALLY SING, but she was the best actor on the stage. Many times when a big name singer does a musical, the acting is not on point- she was just fantastic!!! Roxy was also very good- a fantastic dancer and believable. Great job to the entire cast!! The background dancers were fantastic, the band was fantastic- STELLAR!!

CHICAGO IN BOSTON

I saw the play for the 4th time in Boston on Sunday,November4th. It was the best version I have seen to date,Twice in Boston, once regional and one in NYC. Yes, Christy Brinky can not sing,(she held a tune) act or dance, however, she is so darn sweet and beautiful, her looks played the part. John Hurley was a wonderful Billy Flynn, his signing was in tune and his dancing was, well, Billy Flynn-ish. A Razzle Dazzler! The music was spot on and just so Jazzy. The supporting cast was beautiful to watch. They are strong in their dance, song and acting. The jury , what a hoot! That was the funnyest part of the show. My only regret is that Amos should have worn the bolla hat for his song. That would have completed his outfit and added to the look of the routine. I give this show a BIG FAT 4 stars, well done!

CAST WAS SUPERB!

I attended the Sunday April 15 2018 show at the Scranton cultural Center. In short, the cast and staging were wonderful. The SOUND left much to be desired. For a good 25- 30% of the show you could barely hear what the performers were singing. Whether it was an issue with the mixing or the on-stage orchestra was just too loud it marred an otherwise spectacular performance. I will say this was the first time sound was an issue for me at this venue.

ENTERTAINING AND EXCELLENT DANCE

Overall it was a really well done performance. The dancers are fabulous and the lead characters well chosen. The Billy Flynn character was superb and as good a voice as Broadway. Mama Morton was incredible. Slow & dragging a bit in the 2nd act and for the life of me I don't understand why it was at all necessary to rip the wig off Mary Sunshine to show the audience the actor was a male.

AVERAGE

I thought the singing was good. But I was disappointed in the set and costumes. The dancing also left a bit to be desired. For what I paid to go to this show, I did expect a little production value.
