 AWESOME SEATS at Broadway's Song & Dance CLASSIC!, Feb 02, 2011 |
| reviewer: Chris from New York, NY |
| BEST show on Broadway! We got orchestra seats for 50 bucks, without standing in line at the booth. There's a great website for discount seats to the show - ChicagoOnBroadwayDiscounts.com - get your tickets there, and have a blast at this awesome show! We LOVED the legendary music of Kander & Ebb, and Fosse's choreography. |

Paint The Town... With Chicago, Mar 19, 2011 |
| reviewer: Roman Castillo Jr. from Austin, Texas |
| Hello. I saw "Chicago" for the first time on 3-17-11. It was a fabulous experience! The singing and dancing were first-rate. It's one thing to see video clips of the show online. But to see it in person is a magical moment. I was seated in the front row. Leigh Zimmerman (Velma) and Dylis Croman (Roxie) were A MA zing!! I'm especially familiar with the songs "All That Jazz" and "Nowadays / Hot Honey Rag". The Men of Chicago were also fantastic...especially two of the guys: Ryan Lowe and Jason Patrick Sands. Each did their part with great fervor and energy. Other shows rely on people floating in the air and doing acrobatics. Chicago's approach is pretty simple: sing it well, dance it with precision and act the heck out of the part. After the show, I took pics with Ryan, Leigh and Jason. They were ever so nice! Next time I'm in NYC, I will definitely see "Chicago" again. P.S. Thanks to Leigh Zimmerman for throwing me a red rose, at the end of the show. You're a doll! |

How soon can I get out of here !!!, Nov 08, 2011 |
| reviewer: Deborah Ellison from New York |
| This was the show I wanted to see in New York, what a complete waste of time and money. The voices were incredibly weak, the performances were subdued, the energy level was sub-terranean. The actresses playing the leads made me feel like a spring chicken (I am 48). The dance ensemble lacked energy and commitment. I waited impatiently for the intermission and we gratefully left before the evening was a complete loss. |

 Roxie oddly miscast, Jul 11, 2006 |
| reviewer: Vicki Sands from Virginia |
| I have to agree with the previous reviewer from San Diego that Rita Wilson's turn as Roxie was less than exciting. I know today that 40 is the "new 20" and while Rita Wilson is a lovely woman, I thought she was indeed much too old for the role of a young, fame-hungry dancer...oh, where was the dancing??? Nearly everyone else on stage danced incredibly, but Roxie barely moved. Her voice was lovely, but she delivered all of her lines with a kind of silly smile-- she was elegant and poised, even when trying to come across as vulgar. During the intermission we overheard nearly everyone around us talking about the same things: "She isn't dancing! Isn't she too old for this part?" Loved the small, intimate venue but was sorely disappointed in this latest run of what should be a dazzling show...but the lead fell flat. __________________ |

 ambassador theatre a dump, Apr 21, 2012 |
| reviewer: LP from Norh East England |
| I thought Broadway would have been fantastic however the Ambassador was small, dirty and with tiny seats. The staff were rude and unhelpful. When we first arrived at the theatre we were shouted at by someone on the staff to go outside and line by the wall. We then entered the theatre to be met by two women demanding to see our tickets. They then ordered us to our seats, which were very small and uncomforable. I felt sorry for anyone who could not speak English as the women would just shout louder at them. The whole experience was a complete let down. The theatre looked tired and dusty and the staff were very unprofessional. The show was packed and we were lucky in that we did not pay the full price but is still cost us $150. I come from the north east of England and would love to show these people what theatres should look like. The actual show was very good but not in that theatre. I wonder what the rest of broadway is like. |
