Chicago

This show promises hot jazz and cold-blooded killers in the Windy City of the 1920s, a mixture that has been a successful in New York and London so far. 'Chicago' has every chance of winning over Portuguese audiences, if the success last year of 'Sweeney Todd' is any indication of a budding local taste for musicals. A major US promoter has reportedly invested £1.25m in the show, amid possibly overblown talk of it providing a springboard for future home-grown shows on the international circuit.
