I saw Chicago (Broadway) on 10/30/10. Overall, I'd say it was a 3-star rating. I'd summarize it by saying “not bad”

I had a good time time and left the show feeling underwhelmed and disappointed. I'd describe the show as flat, ok, and dull. All i care about is love was a highlight of the show because he was funny. If this were a movie, I'd rate it PG-13.

I saw this show because I wanted to see the jailhouse tango live after seeing the movie, and knowing the music by heart. I wouldn't see it again. I sat in the left orchestra area of the theater. The view was clear and the seats were good.

There was a lot pacing issues with the show. It just didn't seem to flow smoothly and I was very disappointed in the dancing. It's the reason I wanted to see it, so maybe it was the anticipation I put on it, but I was definitely let down.
