Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

An iconic, captivating musical that has stood the test of time, Chicago is a sizzling, jazzy journey through the dark underbelly of 1920s Chicago that pairs a timeless score with iconic choreography, star power, and unmatched satire. It continues to mesmerize audiences on Broadway as one of the longest-running musicals ever - a well-deserved titles for one of the greatest works ever penned.

"Barrie Kosky’s Berlin production of the 1975 musical adds a touch of burlesque and a dash of Bertolt Brecht."

5/5

"[Chicago is] a living, breathing piece of musical theatre history, which rightfully remains at the Ambassador Theatre and reminds us that all you need is class and, of course, all that jazz!"

The actors' performances (singing and dancing) are fantastic. The orchestra is visible all around the stage and plays beautifully. The acoustics in this theater are excellent. A wonderful evening on Broadway ✨.

Graciela Gonzalez Calderon
Both experiences were very good, easy access to everything. Museum was huge and full, but quite interesting. The zoo is a bit smaller than I expected however it a wonderful and beautiful place, very well maintained and the animals seemed to be well taken cared of,

Experience
Sequoia Ruth
The crowd was absolutely alive for this show and that energy was contagious! The ensemble really killed it, their power and voices stood out. The venue was small and yet there was just enough time to get what you needed during breaks- all staff hustled. The costumes and performances were wonderful I just wish the set design had a little more umph in the first half!

Punctual, superb choreography, colorful and original costumes. I loved the Yennes' costumes. A high-quality show with talented singers, dancers, and acrobats. A must-see. Bravo

Combo: The Museum of Broadway + Edge Observation Deck Timed Entry Tickets

Marina Siqueira
Edge is simply a must-see!!! Stunning views of the entire city, an absolutely incredible experience—I managed to take so many great photos. They closed off part of the outdoor deck, but that didn’t stop me from taking excellent photos. Vessel is also great for taking photos from high up with a view. And it’s quite different!

Madama Butterfly

Experience
Maria Francisca Sanz Valero
One of the best operas I've ever heard. And not just musically—the set design and costumes really made an impression on us. The Met is one of the world's finest opera houses. I recommend arriving early to enjoy the spectacle of the audience's attire: it felt like we were at the Oscars.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Experience
Julia Kiefl-Spitzer
Everything about this play was unforgettable. The theater is breathtaking. The energy of others being able to see the play as well fills the room. Seeing the decorations they set out for guests to interact with were amazing. The play itself was magical and incredible. Even my husband was in awe with how they managed to do some of the things for it. We absolutely would go back to watch it again. The best part was being able to go while Tom Felton was acting as Draco once more. Then getting to see him exit the theater and ask for his autograph was the cherry on top!
