What's it all about?
Celebrity-hungry showgirls, sensational crimes of passion, courtroom showdowns, sultry songs and smoking-hot choreography - there ought to be some kind of law against missing Chicago, London's longest-running revival, at its new more intimate home the Garrick Theatre.
If you've seen the Oscar-winning 2002 movie starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renee Zellweger, you'll know that vampy Velma and raunchy Roxie are two leading ladies not to be messed with. Let them - and their silver-tongued lawyer Billy Flynn - seduce you from your sofa into their steamy underworld.
Who's in it?
This sinful, yet sexy show has attracted a whole host of talent over the years, from Denise Van Outen, Brooke Shields and Jennifer Ellison, to Marti Pellow, John Barrowman and David Hasselhoff.
Currently Sarah Soetart stars as Roxie and Rachel McDowall as Velma, both experienced Chicago veterans who are sure to put on a spectacular show. Raza Jaffrey (who plays Karen's boyfriend Dev on TV hit Smash) is playing Billy Flynn. And if you're lucky enough to get tickets for Chicago this summer, you'll catch Olympic gold medalist Robin Cousins in the iconic role of the sleazy lawyer.
You'll be blown away by the pipes on this pair of sassy schemers as they sing songs written by legendary songwriters John Kander and Fred Ebb - from 'All That Jazz' to 'Nowadays'. And the boys don't go begging either, belting out 'Mr Cellophane' and 'Razzle Dazzle', backed by a ballsy on-stage band that get's its share of big, brassy moments.
Suitable for
Fans of feisty femmes fatales and noir fiction will love Chicago, and if you're anything like Roxie and Velma you'd kill for a ticket. But we recommend simply buying one so you're at liberty to marvel at these two single-minded murderesses.
Their sheer showmanship will have you cheering them on, as will the stunning song and dance numbers inspired by Bob 'jazz hands' Fosse.
This show oozes sex appeal and some saucy language, so it's best for over-12s.

What's the story?
Two divas on death row in 1920s Chicago. You might think that sounds a bit downbeat, but Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart don’t have any intention of going to the chair.
One murdered her cheating husband and sister, the other her lover. Both hire Billy Flynn to sweet-talk the jury and help create a media storm that will set them on the road to showbiz stardom.
But can such a devilish double act share the limelight and will both live to sing and dance another day?
Staff Reviews
The show had a simple set and simple (or should I say skimpy) costumes which lent themselves well as it amplified the talent of the cast. The cast were great, good at dancing, singing and their timing with humour. Roxie was brilliant as was Velma - some amazing legs! Also some hot buff guys!
The best thing about seeing Chicago on stage is getting to hear its iconic songs - such as 'All That Jazz', 'Cell Block Tango' and 'Nowadays' - performed live. I especially loved the enthusiastic band. The players were so passionate and had the crowd on its feet by the end of the evening.
What the critics say
Still the hottest show in town
A sleek package of sex, murder, great songs and arch wit
The sharpest, slickest show on the block!
Customer Reviews
An out and out song and dance show with not really much of a narrative, so if you are going to see it best get as far forward as you can to appreciate the dancing. On the minus side the american accents adopted by the cast are a bit strained and some of the vocals aren't the best. The dancing was OK but with no 'Wow !' factor, with the exception of the actress playing Velma, who on the night I visited was sensational and stole the show.
Great music, gorgeous actors; a wonderful evening!
The show was absolutely amazing!!! I am from Lancashire and the trip to London with the show was a treat for my 18 year old daughter's birthday. She said that Chicago was the highlight of the trip. The whole cast were fantastic, we loved the songs but the dancing was spectacular. I particularly loved the actress who played Roxy Hart, she played the part extremely well, with a cheeky innocence, injecting humour in all the right places.
My Daughter and I thought it was great...
Clever and funny.. Strongly recommended..
Stunning, absolutely stunning!
