Chicago: An Immersive Experience

Following American Theatre Wing's recognition of last season's immersive production of Sweeney Todd, get ready to be razzle-dazzled by this immersive reimagining of this showstopping sensation. Set to be the hottest party this summer and the name on everyone's lips!

Our reimagined production is set in the round and immersive! Audiences will be transported to a 1920s jazz club as the show takes place all around them, with some audience members even having the opportunity to join the action! 

Murder. Greed. Corruption. Violence. Exploitation. Adultery. Treachery. Set amidst the decadence of the 1920s, CHICAGO is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and wannabe nightclub dancer who maliciously murders her on-the-side lover. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer to transform her crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today’s tabloids. Filled with one show-stopping song after another, and sexy Bob Fosse-style dance numbers, CHICAGO will "razzle dazzle" you … and all that jazz! 

Featuring the songs “All That Jazz,” “Razzle Dazzle” “Roxie” and “Cell Block Tango,” this universal tale of fame, fortune, and all that jazz, has one showstopping song after another and the most astonishing dancing you’ve ever seen.

This production will also feature a fully original 20 minute pre-show that starts at 7:05. Come early to get the full 1920s experience and bring some cash to tip the pre-show performers!

Running time is approximately 2 hours and 35 minutes, with one 20 minute intermission.

We need three (3) volunteers per night to cover the positions of box office & concessions. As a volunteer, you also get to see that performance for free*! 

• Box office volunteers will sit at the box office table and help sell tickets, check people in, and provide information to patron before the show.
• Concession volunteers will be stationed in the concession stand to sell drinks and snacks to patrons before the show and during intermission. They will also help collect trash and straighten up the theatre after the performance.

All volunteers will need to arrive at the performance venue by 6:15pm on the night you select to volunteer (4:45pm on Sundays). Click the link to access the Volunteer Sign Up form and reserve your spot! 

For this production, we are asking all volunteers to please wear either all black or a white top and black pants. Volunteer seats are pre-assigned at the end of the rows of the Center Section (closest to the theatre entrance).
