Virginia Arts Festival

To honor one of the most beloved musicals from John Kander and Fred Ebb, Rob Fisher and Tom Thompson have put together a remarkable full-length concert adaptation with an all-new symphonic arrangement by Bill Elliot. It includes every song from the original score - composed initially for 13 on-stage musicians - coupled with intermittent spoken dialogue; behold this inspiring new interpretation, reimagined with a full symphony orchestra!

From symphonies worldwide, musicals in concert have emerged as a vital part of their programming. For that reason, Broadway's longest-running show CHICAGO has been made available to orchestras everywhere, complemented by a five-member cast of formidable singing actors helmed by Rob Fisher—the original musical supervisor and adored American conductor!

CHICAGO The Musical In Concert is an engaging performance that weaves together a captivating story of scandal, corruption, and raw talent with catchy songs and riveting performances. Inspired by actual life events, this show takes you on a thrilling journey through the highs and lows of fame.
