Chicago Returns to Manila at Solaire in March 2027
Chicago The Musical will return to The Theatre at Solaire in Parañaque City from March 9 to 28, 2027, GMG Productions announced in its October 8, 2026 release. The Manila engagement is presented by GMG Productions in association with Barry & Fran Weissler and David Ian, as part of the show's 30th-anniversary global tour.
The musical played the same venue in 2014. Its return adds another date to a 2027 theater calendar that also includes Heathers the Musical, led by Gerardine Sacdalan, at Solaire from January 21 to February 7.
Roxie, Velma and a very useful scandal
Set in 1920s Chicago, the musical follows Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer facing a murder trial. With lawyer Billy Flynn handling her case, she tries to turn the crime into a media spectacle. Fellow inmate and nightclub star Velma Kelly has her own ambitions, and Roxie's sudden fame gives her another rival.
In Chicago, a murder charge can become a career opportunity. Roxie wants an audience, Billy knows how to sell her story, and Velma would prefer to keep the spotlight. The courtroom is another stage, with public attention as much a prize as a favorable verdict.
The book is by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, with music by John Kander and lyrics by Ebb. The score includes "All That Jazz," "Cell Block Tango," "Razzle Dazzle" and "Nowadays."
The 1996 Broadway revival was directed by Walter Bobbie and choreographed by Ann Reinking in the style of Bob Fosse. It won six 1997 Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical. Chicago is Broadway's longest-running American musical, as noted on the show's official website.

Before bringing the kids

Parental guidance is advised. The admission cutoff should not be mistaken for a recommendation for four-year-olds.
