About

You’ll likely enjoy Chicago for its glamorous, high-energy musical numbers and biting look at celebrity and justice in 1920s Chicago; Not for you if you want a serious, plot-heavy drama, or if you dislike musicals like Dreamgirls or Moulin Rouge.

Pros: stylish musical spectacle; sharp satire of press; strong lead performances | Cons: sleazy/crass tone; plot feels thin; divisive for musical fans
