“STILL THE SEXIEST MOST SENSATIONAL MUSICAL” Sunday Express
CHICAGO, the “sexiest musical ever” (Metro) is back in/at Norwich in July for one week only starring Coronation Street’s Faye Brookes (Dancing On Ice, Grease, Legally Blonde) as Roxie Hart, West End and TV star Lee Mead (Joseph, Holby City, Wicked, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) as Billy Flynn, and West End star Djalenga Scott (Annie, Chicago, West Side Story) as Velma Kelly.
Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, CHICAGOis the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walkout on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today’s tabloids .Created by the musical theatre talents of John Kander, Fred Ebband legendary choreographer Bob Fosse, CHICAGO’s sexy, sassy score with one show-stopping song after another includes “Razzle Dazzle”, “Cell Block Tango”, and “All That Jazz”. With 6 Tony Awards, 2 Olivier Awards, a Grammy® and thousands of standing ovations, CHICAGO truly is “SUPERB” (Daily Telegraph).
It would be criminal to miss it..
