More than a decade after it first lit up the stage, Chicago the Musical is returning to The Theatre at Solaire for a limited run from March 9 to 28, 2027.
Presented by GMG Productions in association with Barry & Fran Weissler and David Ian, the show that inaugurated the venue in 2014 is coming home. Now celebrating 30 years on Broadway, the Tony Award-winning musical has racked up more than 11,700 performances, been seen by over 35 million people, and played in 38 countries and more than 525 cities.
Carlos Candal, CEO of GMG Productions, put it best:
“Chicago is one of those extraordinary shows that never goes out of style. It’s sexy, sophisticated, provocative and wickedly funny, with incredible music, iconic Bob Fosse choreography, and a story of fame, ambition, scandal, and celebrity that remains as relevant as ever.
There’s something especially meaningful about bringing Chicago back to The Theatre at Solaire, where it inaugurated the venue in 2014. More than twelve years later, returning to the same stage feels like a real homecoming.
What I love most about Chicago is its edge. It’s glamorous and seductive, but also dark, witty, and dangerous. From ‘All That Jazz’ and ‘Cell Block Tango’ to ‘Razzle Dazzle,’ it’s filled with songs and moments that have become part of musical theatre history.
We’re thrilled to bring it back to Manila in March 2027. Whether you saw it in 2014 or are discovering it for the first time, Chicago is a show that truly comes alive on stage. Come on, baby, let’s razzle dazzle.”
Barry Weissler, the show’s producer, shared the same excitement:
“It was such an honor to be chosen as the inaugural production at the grand opening of the Theatre at Solaire back in 2014, so for Chicago to return to Manila next year and take that same stage again is a real homecoming.
John Kander, Fred Ebb, and Bob Fosse created a prescient masterpiece that is ever relevant in this moment and time. Audiences are in for a real treat. The show is as hot as ever!”
David Ian, co-producer with Crossroads Live, added:
“We’re delighted to announce the return of Chicago to the Theatre at Solaire in March 2027 as part of its red-hot 30th Anniversary global tour. Chicago truly is the triple-threat musical that combines the sensational choreography of Bob Fosse with the master melodies of John Kander and the satirical lyrics of Fred Ebb. Our incredible company can’t wait to perform Chicago in Manila, home of such an enthusiastic musical theatre audience. Get ready to paint the town!”
Set in 1920s Chicago, the musical follows Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who lands on trial for murder. With the help of slick lawyer Billy Flynn, she tries to turn her crime into a media sensation, only to find herself competing for the spotlight with fellow inmate and nightclub star Velma Kelly.
The legendary book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, music by John Kander, and lyrics by Fred Ebb deliver one showstopper after another: “All That Jazz,” “Cell Block Tango,” “Razzle Dazzle,” “Nowadays,” and more. The original Broadway revival was directed by Tony Award winner Walter Bobbie and choreographed by Tony Award winner Ann Reinking.
A six-time Tony Award winner (including Best Musical Revival), Chicago continues to captivate audiences more than three decades after its Broadway return.
