I'm going to see Chicago on Broadway on Dec.20th and we have 8th row tickets. just me and my mother. what should we wear?

Chicago is my favorite show, I've seen it over 8 times. Honestly, you can wear what you like- I've seen people in jeans, I've seen people in gowns. If you want to "dress the part," wear something black and sexy (you'll understand why once you see the show). But among all else, wear something comfortable and enjoy yourself, it's a wonderful show. Enjoy!

Your best friend wants to go the musical Chicago on Broadway?

Would you advise him/her to go?make some comments about it.

Thank you

Ohh yes .. its fabulous! i went with a church group and it was great!

When did Chicago open on Broadway?

I need to know the opening night date.

The original play - June 3, 1975

The musical - November 14, 1996

Chicago is a musical, based on the play Chicago by Maurine Dallas Watkins. Its book was by Bob Fosse and Fred Ebb, music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb. Set in prohibition era Chicago, it is a satire on corruption in the administration of criminal justice, and the concept of the "celebrity criminal". Its satirically inverted moral values are very reminiscent of The Beggar's Opera.
The original production opened on Jun 3, 1975 - and ran for a total of 936 performances, closing on Aug 27, 1977. It was revived with even greater success on Nov 14, 1996 - reaching a total of 4234 performances as of Jan 14 2007."

" Chicago is a musical, first performed in 1975, that opened on Broadway with a concert version on November, 14 1996. Chicago is based on the play Chicago by Maurine Dallas Watkins with its book was by Bob Fosse and Fred Ebb with music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb. Join the sold-out play for an incredible delivery with brilliant storytelling about mystery, murder and mayhem."

If for whatever reason this link doesn't work, the tickets are available at ticketmaster, search for Cadillac Palace and all the shows there will come up.

Do you have to dress up to see a play on Broadway in Chicago?

I am going to see Wicked the 29th, and I was wondering if you have to dress up. Would dark jeans, red flats, and a black jacket be appropiate?
Thanks everyone! My friend said she saw people like wearing formal dresses, and holding fancy purses and scarves. So I think i'll stick with my former idea!

Broadway is New York, not Chicago.

BUT as far as going to their Avenue of the Arts (i.e, where the theatres are) .... YES you would need to "dress up."

Show time is relevant to dress/attire also.
Are you going to a matinee (afternoon) or an evening performance?
A matinee is more "dress-down", and evening performance is more "dress-up" but jeans are inappropriate for the theatre in viewing a performance/show regardless of show time.

You don't have to don formal evening wear as you would for opening night, BUT you should dress casually and within appropriate means.

Wear casual wear (dress slacks/shirt coat) like "business casual" or similar concpet OR a wear dress/skirt etc (not an evening gown or black-tie or formal attire). Don't wear jeans ... not even to a matinee.
(it is obvious that the people that do wear them (jeans) aren't typical theatre-goers. Proper etiquette is relevant to attire, and jeans are (technically) not acceptable.)

Is it necessary to dress up for a musical play on Broadway in Chicago?

Me and my friends are going to see the musical play wicked , is it necessary to dress up?

You see the whole range of clothing at Broadway shows in the 21st century...So it's not *necessary*, but I say go for it...A casual dress/skirt with flats would be appropriate.
