Chicago The Musical

February 20 - February 22 2026

7:30 p.m
Chrysler Hall 215 St Pauls Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23510 Price: Prices May Vary

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 29 years, and after more than 10,000 performances, 6 Tony Awards®, 2 Olivier Awards, and a Grammy®, we’re just getting started.

Come on, babe! Head to CHICAGO!
We’re hotter than ever.

Show Times:

Friday, Feb 20, 2026 8:00 PM

Saturday, Feb 21, 2026 2:00 PM & 8:00 PM

Sunday, Feb 22, 2026 1:00 PM & 6:30 PM

A Conversation with John McEnroe

April 21 2026

7:30 p.m
Chrysler Hall 215 St Pauls Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23510 contact@thenorfolkforum.org Price: Prices May Vary

Tennis legend John McEnroe embodies the American spirit. On and off the court, McEnroe has proven himself to be one of the most intriguing and controversial public figures of his time. Throughout his playing years, his bold and irreverent style made him, for many, a symbol for a generation of “rock n’ roll” athletes. Since leaving the court, his unique commentary and style in the broadcast booth have garnered him national Sports Emmy nominations.

 

We are pleased to offer this distinguished lineup for only $180 – that is $45 per event! If available, limited single tickets will go on sale after our first speaker, Jenna Hager, on September 18, 2025.
