Chicago, by Kander and Ebb, is set in the American city during the 1920s prohibition era, and tells the satirical tale of corruption and justice in the celebrity limelight. Roxie Hart is an aspiring vaudevillian who is arrested following the murder of her lover, which she tries and fails to pin on her dim witted husband. Sent to the women’s block in Cook County Jail, she encounters top vaudeville act and murderess of her husband and his lover, Velma Kelly. The two women then battle for the limelight as Roxie steals the media attention and Velma’s lawyer, Billy Flynn. The Chicago score includes songs such as All That Jazz, Razzle Dazzle and Mr Cellophane.

Playing the role of Roxie is award winning musical actress Ruthie Henshall, who has recently extended her run. Henshall originated as killer performer Roxie Hart when the show opened in 1997. Other West End show credits include Oliver!, Les Miserables, Children of Eden and her Laurence Olivier award winning performance in She Loves Me.

Chicago at the Cambridge Theatre

Chicago is sexy and sassy and the hottest show around. Because of its attractive appeal, it is no wonder theatre tickets for this show are flying.

The thrill of Chicago…

Chicago is the story about a chorus girl, Roxie, played by Michelle Williams – one of the singers of the Destiny’s Child trio – who kills her lover. Her slick and manipulative lawyer tries to keep her from death row while promising to make her a star.

Chicago is filled with sex, murder and fantastic music. The choreography is outstanding and so very sexy. The show does, however, contain some mild language and has an adult theme.

Musicals Casting

CHICAGO TICKETS – LIVE AVAILABILITY

Kelly Price’s recent arrival for the smash hit musical ‘Chicago’ is proving a real treat for theatre goers. The west end star who has recently appeared in ‘Guys and Dolls’ (as Sarah Brown) and ‘Mamma Mia!’ (as Sophie), is appearing for a limited time only as ‘Roxie Hart’ – the nightclub singer with Vaudeville dreams. Those wanting to witness her great performance will have to be quick; Kelly will take on the legendary role only until October 25th.

The London theatre show is running at The Cambridge Theatre, having transferred from The Adelphi Theatre in April 2006, where it was the longest running production ever to play there. It’s a return home for the show, having first appeared at The Cambridge all the way back in 1979, and its re-birth soon won several awards including the Laurence Olivier Award (‘Outstanding Musical Production’) and The Critics Circle Drama Award (‘Best Musical’).

Chicago features a book from Fred Ebb and the legendary Bob Fosse, and is originally based on a play by Maurine Dallas. It was successfully made into a Hollywood blockbuster movie in 2002, starring Renee Zellweger as Roxie, Catherine Zeta-Jones as Velma Kelly, and a memorable performance from none other than Richard Gere as Billy Flynn.
