| Chicago will reopen at the Garrick Theatre this autumn after finishing its run at the Cambridge Theatre to make way for Matilda the Musical. The show will move into its third West End home in early November, with full dates and cast to be announced shortly. Chicago was revived in London in 1997 and won a Laurence Olivier Award for Outstanding Musical Production. It played for eight-and-a-half years at the Adelphi Theatre before moving to the Cambridge in 2006. Several famous faces have appeared in Chicago - most recently the American supermodel Christie Brinkley who took over the role of ‘Roxie’ in July. |

Murder, Fame and All That Jazz
Showgirl Roxie Hart commits a cold-blooded murder whilst cheating on her husband - causing quite a stir in the gossip capital that is the ‘Windy City’ of Chicago. Whilst awaiting trial in an all-female cellblock, Roxie realises that her newfound notoriety might just give her fledgling career an unexpected lift. Soon, with the help of a smooth-talking attorney, the press are razzle-dazzled and her rivals are left in the shade. But, with showbiz such a fickle profession, can the ambitious Roxie really make her crime pay? With sultry Bob Fosse-inspired choreography - and unforgettable songs including ‘All That Jazz’ - Chicago has become one of the West End’s best-loved musicals.
