“Jones has directed some of the best Muny productions in recent years, including a triumphant version of 42nd Street in 2016. He’s at his feverish best with this version of Chicago, both in his wide-open but disciplined direction of The Muny’s ensemble cast, and with his exuberant and dizzying choreography on numbers such as “Tap Dance,” “Cell Block Tango” and “We Both Reached for the Gun.”
- Mark Bretz, Ladue News

“Denis Jones’ direction and choreography have admirable clarity, vitality, and glamour. The great number, “Razzle Dazzle,” lives up to its name in this memorable staging.”
- Gerry Kowarsky, HEC Media

If you’ve seen the 2002 film adaptation starring Renée Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Richard Gere, you might assume you’ve experienced “Chicago.” But as good as that film is, it doesn’t come close to equaling the theatrical excellence on display live at the Muny.”
