Chicago takes the MPAC stage from January 16-18! Chicago is still the one musical with everything that makes Broadway shimmy-shake: a universal tale of fame, fortune, and all that jazz, with one showstopping song after another and the most astonishing dancing you’ve ever seen.
In the whirlwind of Chicago’s Jazz Age, two of the Cook County Jail’s most notorious murderesses—vaudeville star Velma Kelly and chorus girl Roxie Hart—become fierce rivals as they compete for headlines amidst a media frenzy.
Broadway’s longest-running musical has been razzle dazzling audiences for over 28 years, and after more than 10,000 performances, 6 Tony Awards®, 2 Olivier Awards, and a Grammy®, it’s just getting started.
On February 5, Alan Cumming presents his solo show, Uncut! The multi-hyphenate, multi-award winning, multimedia mogul with a new cabaret show, this time even more revealing, hilarious and authentic than ever before. It is, in fact, Alan Cumming Uncut. With musical direction by Henry Koperski.
Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Linda Eder! Showcasing one of the greatest voices of our time, Linda Eder’s diverse repertoire spans Broadway, standards, pop, country and jazz. When she performs in concert, it is amazing to experience the ease with which she moves back and forth from one genre to another as if she were gifted with the vocal ability to perform each genre as well as all the others.
On February 15th, don’t miss A Bronx Tale: A One Man Show starring Chazz Palminteri! In 1988, Chazz Palminteri wrote a one-man show about a killing he saw in the Bronx when he was nine years old. It became a hit and the most sought after property since Rocky. This is the original one-man show that made him an in-demand character actor and served as the basis of the acclaimed movie and Broadway musical.
On February 20th, measure your life in love with the iconic music of RENT! Rent in Concert, a new symphonic experience of the Tony Award®–winning Best Musical, features your favorite classic songs and moments accompanied by the soaring sounds of a live symphony and stellar cast.
On March 27th, New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players present The Mikado! Don’t miss this all-new, critically acclaimed restaging of The Mikado. Join Yum-Yum, Nanki-Poo, Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner and the rest of the cast in this revered comic operetta. A brief new prologue frames the classic work for today’s audiences. Gilbert’s lyrics and Sullivan’s melodies – which have delighted comic opera lovers for over one hundred thirty-five years – are still as fresh as “the flowers that bloom in the spring.”
