Chicago

The smash-hit musical CHICAGO celebrates 10 glittering, celebrity-studded years in the West End. Already the longest running American musical ever to play in London, this multi-award winning international production is filled with sexy, sassy and sensational choreography inspired by the legendary Bob Fosse, and a sizzling score including All That Jazz and Razzle Dazzle. It's no wonder The Times calls it 'the sharpest, slickest show on the block'. Suitable for ages 10+. Under 5s will not be admitted.

Sure.  We could tell you about the theme of the show- the fleeting and shallow nature of media celebrity- and discuss its relevance to the star-struck culture in which we live.  But, face it, the real reason for seeing Chicago is to watch incredibly fit dancers slink and slither through all that sexy Bob Fosse choreography and freeze into those muscle-popping asymmetrical poses he likes so much.  Themes are fine, but music and dance win the day in Chicago.

"As close to musical theatre heaven as you are likely to get" The News of The World

"This great production of a magnificent show brings the old razzle-dazzle back to the West End with a vengeance" The Daily Telegraph

Popular songs:

  • Razzle Dazzle
  • A Little Bit of Sunshine
  • All That Jazz

Chicago Cast Update

Chicago has announced some forthcoming cast changes though, most significantly, Ruthie Henshall will extend her acclaimed run as ambitious chorus girl ‘Roxie Hart’.

She will now stay in the musical until 17 April, extending her run by an additional two months.

Ruthie originated the role of ‘Roxie Hart’ back in 1997, for which she was nominated for a Laurence Olivier Award. A long-established star of both Broadway and the West End, the former Dancing on Ice judge returned to Chicago in December.

Significant Cast Changes

Adam Stafford joins the cast as long-suffering husband ‘Amos Hart’ direct from Chicago’s UK tour for performances from 1 March. Meanwhile, Anna-Jane Casey reprises to the role of murderess ‘Velma Kelly’, whilst Terence Maynard returns as lawyer ‘Billy Flynn’.

A Story of Murder, Corruption and Greed!

Chicago, the longest running Broadway musical to play in the West End, transferred to the Cambridge Theatre in 2006 where it recently celebrated an incredible 5,000 London performances.

Chorus girl ‘Roxie Hart’ murders her lover and convinces her husband ‘Amos Hart’ to take the blame. When the truth comes out ‘Roxie’ is arrested and thrown into jail. However, the prospect of a ‘celebrity trial’, with her photograph splashed all over the papers, may just be the big-break ‘Roxie’ has been seeking!

A sizzling score includes the songs ‘Razzle Dazzle’, ‘Mr Cellophane’ and ‘All That Jazz’.
