CHICAGO THE MUSICAL
The Pantages Theatre
May 15-27, 2012

After her critically-acclaimed debut as Roxie Hart on Broadway and in London’s West End, Christie Brinkley, one of the world’s most successful supermodels, will make her highly-anticipated Broadway tour debut this spring as she reprises her killer role in the six-time Tony Award-winning musical smash hit CHICAGO, also starring John O’Hurley.

Catch her red-handed in one of Broadway’s most popular and thrilling musicals of all time! This tale of greed, murder, corruption and show biz is filled with hit songs such as “All That Jazz,” “Cell Block Tango” and “Razzle Dazzle.” CHICAGO features some of the most electrifying dancing seen on Broadway — and with a gorgeous ensemble, performing sizzling numbers choreographed in the style of Bob Fosse.
