Kander & Ebb’s legendary score and Bob Fosse–inspired choreography ignite the stage, blending sultry jazz, crisp movement, and wickedly smart satire. The cast brings Roxie Hart, Velma Kelly, and Bil
“Chicago” at the Ambassador Theatre is a must in New York City! Such a beautiful theater where you truly feel the magic of Broadway. The staff members are very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. We arrived just as doors were opening and were quickly greeted and directed to our seats. There are several concession spots and vendors walk throughout the theater offering various items. I greatly enjoyed my experience at the Ambassador Theater and can’t wait to visit again!
A true NYC Broadway standard, especially as the longtime home of Chicago. Classic Broadway feel and the show itself was fantastic. Sightlines were good and the atmosphere felt quintessential New York theater. One thing to know before you go: the seats are VERY narrow. Think middle seat on a budget airline. If you’re broad-shouldered, tall, or just like a little personal space, it can feel pretty cramped. But overall, absolutely worth it for the experience.
