The show was really beautiful, and both the actors and the orchestra were outstanding. The only aspect I didn’t like was the casting choice of Ashley Graham in the role of Roxie. I'm sure she put all her effort into the role, but vocally she was clearly not up to the standards of a Broadway production. Seeing a show on Broadway is expensive, and at that price, I expect to see a performance of the highest quality. Choosing a celebrity to draw in the audience doesn’t always result in a strong overall performance.

Excellent service. I purchased well in advance and was very kindly advised that my reservation was perfect but that I would see the tickets when they were issued (a week before the date) and I did. Excellent customer service and of course, excellent Chicago!

In short: acceptable scratched.
