If you like musicals like Chicago, look for musicals by Stephen Sondheim. They are not jazzy per se, but their lyrics are wonderful. Their stories are hilarious. And they are deffinitely NOT for children... heh heh.
Anyway, I would suggest the Stephen Sondheim musical, 'Assassins'. This is a musical (beleive it or not) about all of the US's presidental assassins and assassins. It is dark comedy in the theater at it's height.
Also, I would suggest seeing the movie, 'All That Jazz'. This is my favorite movie about the theater that is a semi-biographical account of Fosse's life. It is interesting because it was made when Fosse was still alive and he was very involved with the picture. The ending is a bit of a shocker to... heh heh.
My wife, who is a musical expert, says the muscial, 'Side Man' is very similiar musically to Chicago.
