Right from the start you are captivated with the story line, the characters and of course the music. the first time we saw the show was an afternoon performance, which we loved, but the only disappointment was that Gina Riley had a substitute. But we got over that and just loved the music and the dance, the energy that went into the dance routines and the personalities that shone
through from the 2 main female actors. We loved it so much we decided to go back to a night time performance, of course looking forward to all the things we loved the first time and in addition this time see Gina. But once more were disappointed when the same
substitute appeared on stage. Once again we overcome our disappointment and absolutely loved the show. Our seats which I bought online were fantastic only 5 rows back and in the middle, which made the 2nd time round even more special as you could actually look into the actors eyes!.. We were tempted to try for a 3rd time to see Gina, and if we could have found out for sure if she would be on stage at that particular performance we would not have hesitated. Is there anyway of knowing at the time of purchasing your ticket, what under studies will be on stage. I realise sickness is something you can't control, but if it's due to other commitments, it should be made known to the customer, and so you have a choice, I mean you see the advertising and
it says Gina Riley as the warden, but out of 2 shows, she wasn't. Back to all the positives, it is one of the best musicals we have seen, am still singing the songs and smile when thinking of some of the humourous scenes. Easily give it 9/10.

I loved the whole production.

Caroline and the whole cast are so talented!

I have not seen Craig in a musical before and was very impessed.

I was told by the seller that all the songs are not on the Australian soundtrack, so I bought the American soundtrack CD, but I am disappointed as I feel that the singing was not as good as the Australian version.

Chicago was everything we expected. The high impact first two scenes set the standard for the rest of the show. I believe the all star cast made the musical what is it is today in Australia, without that it would have been a good show not a great show.

I really wanted to see this show, but if I had known how good it was going to be then I would have organised a party booking. If it comes back I will see it again and take as many people as i can with me. The set was so simple but incredibly effective. And the costuming, though black, was equally effective. The two female leads had amazing voices and danced like 18 year-olds although they were mature women. The entire production was very tight and professional as well as completely riveting. Special mention must be given to the band who were on stage at all times. You could have cut a CD from their music. The moment the show was finished I was ready to see it again. Congratulations to the entire cast and crew!

The cast of Chicago gave an outstanding performance. High enargy routines, great Jazz blasting a out and the comic timimg was spot on.
A very entertaining musical with two very talented leading ladies and a support cast who won a share of the audience vote with their remarkable performances.
The show was slick, perfectly timed and the actors and dances displayed how much work they'd put into rehearsals as they were making it look so easy and they' were so comfortable in their roles.
10/10 for all involved, very entertaining show.

A highly recommended show.
Fantastic music and dance. A brilliant performance by Roxy.....so much talent. Velma has an amazing voice. I would have liked to have seen a bit more colour in the costumes and background scenes.

The casting of the people for their voices was exceptional. There was not one week voice among the whole cast. . The tones and strength of their voices for the play were amazing and all actors played their rolls brilliantly.
