. so begins Chicago, one of the most phenomenal musicals of our times. Creators John Kander, Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse never back off from their bold, yet sinister, promise. Eleven years on Chicago still remains 'the hottest show in town'.
The kiss-and-tell story of chorus girl Roxie who kills her lover; Velma Kelly, the glamorous double-murderer and Billy Flynn, the slick and manipulative lawyer keeping them from death row while promising to make them stars, has all the topicality of our celebrity-seeking times. It also provides some of the most sensational roles in all musical theatre.
Be razzled and dazzled by Chicago: a true Broadway and West End classic.
Please Note: Contains some mild language and adult themes.Emma Barton will start as Roxie Hart until the 29th August

A modern theatre, facing Seven Dials, built using steel and concrete and is notable for it's elegant and clean lines of design. The theatre was refurbished in 1950, the original gold and silver decor painted over in red and candelabras and chandeliers added. Thankfully in 1987 the theatre was once again refurbished, this time by Carl Toms, and much of the original restored.
Productions at the Cambridge Theatre have been characterised by relatively short runs interspered with several dark periods and the theatre was used for trade film shows in the late 1930's and again in 1969 as a cinema. Amongst the short runs at the theatre, notable productions include Tommy Steele in "Half a Sixpence" in 1963 and in the late 1970's the Kander and Ebb musical "Chicago" run for 590 performances. More recently the 'rock'n'roll' musical "Return to the Forbidden Planet" which was based Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and used 1950's and 1960's songs opened in September 1989 and lasted until early 1993, winning the Olivier Award for Best New Musical, beating the favourite, "Miss Saigon".
