The iconic multi award winning musical comes to the Alhambra from 21-26 October with a stella cast.
Stage and soap star Faye Brookes returns to the stage as Roxie Hart, joined by Strictly Come
Dancing favourite Kevin Clifton as Billy Flynn. Leading West End talent Djalenga Scott also returns
to the role of Velma Kelly, starring alongside Joshua Lloyd as Amos Hart and Jordan Lee Davies as
Mary Sunshine.
Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, CHICAGO is the story of Roxie Hart, a
housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out 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 Ebb and legendary choreographer Bob
Fosse, CHICAGO’s sexy, sassy score includes the show-stopping songs “Razzle Dazzle”, “Cell Block
Tango”, and “All That Jazz”. Winner of six Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards and a Grammy,
CHICAGO is the longest running American musical in Broadway and West End history.

Danish, Japanese and Korean.
