Chicago

‘Murder greed corruption, exploitation, adultery, treachery...

all those things we hold near and dear to our hearts’ 

...so begins Chicago one of the most phenomenal musicals of our times.

The Twenties are roaring with hot jazz and cold-blooded killers. Hoodlums are making headlines and the press are hungry for more. So when chorus girl Roxie Hart  shoots her lover she reckons it’s her one chance for fame.  Together with her rival in crime, Velma Kelly and silver-tongued lawyer Billy Flynn, getting away with murder has never been done with such style. 

Winner of the Olivier Award for Oustanding Musical Production and now the longest-running Broadway musical in the West End, CHICAGO continues to razzle and dazzle audiences with its wit, glamour, style and sensational dance routines. It’s truly a show to die for!

Emma Barton, best-known as ‘Honey Mitchell’ in “EastEnders”, stars  as ‘Roxie Hart’ in the West End production of “CHICAGO” at the Cambridge Theatre at Covent Garden’s Seven Dials for 12 weeks from 26 April 2010. She previously played the role during the 2009/10 UK tour of Chicago. Other television includes BBC1’s “Spooks”, and her stage roles include ‘Peggy’ in “The Secret Garden” for the RSC and ‘Marty’ in “Grease” at Victoria Palace. 

Vivien Carter, whose stage credits include “We Will Rock You” in Australia and “Guys and Dolls” in London, stars as ‘Velma Kelly’, with Terence Maynard as ‘Billy Flynn’ and Adam Stafford as ‘Amos Hart’.
