The multi-award winning CHICAGO has now razzle dazzled audiences for ten phenomenal years and holds the record of being the longest running Broadway musical to ever play in London. It is still one of the West End's most popular shows thanks to its inventive casting, sizzling score, sensational choreography inspired by the legendary Bob Fosse and the success of 2002's Oscar-winning film version of CHICAGO starring Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
As the story goes, chorus girl, Roxie Hart shoots her lover and ends up in Cook County Jail, where she meets fellow murderess, Velma Kelly. In a world where celebrity is power they fight to keep their names in the headlines and, with smooth-talking lawyer Billy Flynn, battle to keep from Death Row.
Olivier-winning actress Ruthie Henshall returns to the role of Roxie Hart through 17 April alongside Anna Jane Casey as Velma Kelly. They are joined by Ian Kelsey and David Ganly will star as Billy Flynn and Amos Hart. Terence Maynard returns to the role of Billy Flynn with Adam Stafford as Amos Hart from 1 March.
