Chicago - The Musical Reviews

Maria Rosen from San Antonio, Texas

NOT THE BEST!

Velma was not her best today! Her singing was well done but the dancing left a lot to be desired! Low energy for Velma and way too masculine! The last dance was horrible! it was probably the worst version of Chicago to date!

I REALLY WANTED TO LIKE IT…

I was so painfully disappointed in this production. Zero set changes, zero sets period. Zero costume changes. There was some good choreography, but unable to really see it due to the black costumes on black stage. The show seemed to lack energy (even though the actors seemed to be working frantically) and I was bored and disengaged. The band was louder than the vocals and I could not hear dialogue, left me with a headache. I left before intermission.

THEY HAD IT COMING

My family was very excited to see Chicago, as we are all big fans of the original and the film. We immediately noticed at least 10 basic theater flaws by the second song. No sets, big props, costumes, and tech issues were some of the consistent issues aside from the acting and dancing. We all left disappointed and being my mother's birthday, she said she would rather watch the movie next time. The big songs weren't big, some scenes confusing, and overall a flop. With 2 theater majors in our family, we were surprised something "professional" could have so many newbie errors.

PAINFULLY DULL.

We thought intermission would never come, and when it did, we left. Apparently there were others that shared our sentiment. I saw about 25 others departing from the same exit heading for the parking garage. I actually saw 2 couples leave during the show. Definitely a disappointment.

ZERO STARS FOR ZERO EFFORT

This was horribly flat. No imagination, it felt like all the actors were going through the motions of one of the longest running musicals of all time. The sad part is, everyone is very talented, but I blame everything on poor direction and choreography. Really a shame

UNDERWHELMING

scenery---boring singing---little harmony, voices of the leads did not go together well costumes---dull and hard to discern with so much dull black on stage scenery---too busy with orchestra on the stage, everything was a dull black, little to treat the eye Billy Flynn---little expression and even less movement overall---felt like cast was trying too hard and just couldn't pull it off, a very dull, underwhelming and disappointing show

CHICAGO THE MUSICAL

Boring! Disappointing set. Most songs sounded like repeats. Orchestra on the stage was distracting. I expected a lot more for $150/ticket.
