Cruel yet sexy and thrilling—that’s the irresistible, rule-breaking allure of the musical Chicago.

After catching her husband and sister in the act, Velma shoots them both and then goes on to perform in the show.

With the iconic number “All That Jazz,” which all but urges you to drown yourself in women, booze, and jazz, the audience is pulled straight into their world.

Mambo

West Side Story – Mambo!

You’ve probably heard the word “Mambo!” at least once, and the famous number “Mambo” from the classic West Side Story is one of its inspirations as well.

This piece, in which the Puerto Rican Sharks dance with fierce energy, is one you should absolutely experience in the theater—not just for the music, but for the dance, too.

Maria

West Side Story, the Broadway musical that premiered in 1957, tells the story of a forbidden love swaying between two groups that are at odds over everything.

In “Maria,” Tony, having learned that the girl he has fallen in love with is named Maria, sings as he dreamily repeats her name over and over.

It’s a song that conveys Tony’s single-minded devotion.
