Running since: November, 1996 An elegant, minimally staged revival of Kander & Ebb's gritty musical - lust, treachery, and murder among chorus girls and backstage types in old Chicago.
Bob Fosse, the legendary choreographer who created the first production, got most of his early training in the burlesque halls. In that tradition, this production is an homage to the libido - a writhing, gyrating tour-de-force sure to raise an eyebrow or two.
Conceived and directed by Walter Bobbie in 1996 as a staged concert (note - there's not much scenery), the show features Fosse's legendary original choreography as restaged by Ann Reinking. An excellent score includes the classic "All That Jazz."
