Stage Door
Full guide →Getting there. You exit the theatre directly onto 49th St., and the stage door is right there.
When to go. Head straight out at curtain call. Two-show days are the worst bet at both performances — the cast rests through the matinee and is spent by the evening. A Sunday matinee is the best single bet, because it is a one-show day. In bad weather the barricades sometimes never go up at all.
Who comes out. Anywhere from nobody to most of the cast. Nobody can tell you in advance which three — not us, not the theatre. Treat any list that claims otherwise with suspicion.
What to bring. Tonight’s Playbill and a fine-tip Sharpie, held open to the page you want signed. Ask before you photograph anyone, and keep the pavement clear — it is a working door, not a red carpet.
Why “not confirmed”. The door above is a fact about the theatre and holds for years. Whether THIS production does a stage door is a fact about the company — it changes with the cast, and no source publishes it. We’d rather say so than guess.
Where to Buy Tickets
The Lowdown
The premise is simple: murder is just another form of celebrity PR. Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly dance their way through a legal system that treats justice like a punchline. It is cynical, sparse, and relies entirely on Fosse’s signature sharp angles to keep the energy from flatlining. The production is a relic in the best way, proving that blood and sequins never go out of style in this town. Skip it if you need a revolving set or pyrotechnics to stay awake. Go if you want to see exactly how much mileage one chair and a black bodysuit can actually get you.

Our verdict
The longest-running American musical on Broadway, and it earns the tenure. Kander and Ebb's razzle-dazzle, Fosse-style choreography, and a cynical wit about fame and justice that only sharpens with age. Stripped-down staging, all talent — a slinky, ageless night that never feels like a museum piece.
