Casting has been announced for the UK and Ireland tour of multi-awarding Broadway and West End show Chicago.

Chicago opens at Milton Keynes Theatre on 12 October 2024 and then tours the UK and Ireland including Bradford, Newcastle, Manchester, Southampton, Stoke, Aberdeen, Cheltenham, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Oxford, Southend, Dublin, Belfast, Bournemouth, Nottingham, Birmingham, Truro, Llandudno, Cardiff, Canterbury, Bristol, Dartford, Wimbledon, Leicester, Wolverhampton, Hull, Eastbourne, Norwich, Blackpool, Woking, Sunderland, Crawley, and Glasgow. See all tour dates here.

The cast will be led by Faye Brookes (Coronation Street, Shrek The Musical) as Roxie Hart with the West End’s Djalenga Scott (Annie, Joseph) as Velma Kelly.

Brenda Edwards (We Will Rock You, Loose Women) will play Mama Morton, with Strictly Come Dancing’s Kevin Clifton (Strictly Ballroom The Musical) as Billy Flynn, Joshua Lloyd (The Lion King) as Amos Hart, and Jordan Lee Davies (La Cage aux Folles) as Mary Sunshine.

The cast is completed by Bethany Adamson, Victoria Anderson, Josh Crowther, Joe Dale, Jessica Keable, Robin Kent, Annabelle Laing, Jacob McLay Reid, Jonathan Milton, George Olney, Oliver Ramsdale, Elly Shaw, Lucy Anne Stacey, Matthew Sweet and Ria Tanaka.

Chicago is set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, and sees Roxie Hart, a housewife, nightclub dancer, and now murderer, desperate to avoid conviction as she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer.

Created by the musical theatre talents of John Kander and Fred Ebb (Cabaret) 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.

Chicago has a book by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, and is based on the play by Maurine Dallas Watkins. The current 1996 Broadway revival of Chicago is choreographed by Ann Reinking in the style of Bob Fosse, directed by Walter Bobbie, and produced by Barry and Fran Weissler.

The tour is produced by David Ian for Crossroads Live in association with Barry and Fran Weissler.
