Get ready for some razzle dazzle, because it's heading your way. From September 12 to 22, Roxy Hart and Velma Kelly will command the Etihad Arena, bringing to life the musical extravaganza Chicago, which is sure to leave you humming its tunes.
Now in its 27th year, this tale of passion, murder, greed, betrayal, and redemption is set to captivate audiences in the UAE. The story revolves around two death row inmates, Roxy and Velma, who engage in a fierce rivalry as they vie for fame, media attention, and the favor of a prominent lawyer.
Adapted from a play by Maurine Dallas Watkins, a Chicago-based reporter who drew inspiration from real-life crimes she covered, Chicago was also adapted into a 2002 film. The movie featured Renée Zellweger as Roxie Hart, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Velma Kelly, and Richard Gere as the lawyer with all the answers.
Tickets for the show in Abu Dhabi range from Dh185 during the week to Dh200 on weekends. Secure your seat by visiting etihadarena.ae.
