Chicago
Chicago
Chicago is officially back home in London’s West End and features an all-star cast, including Duncan James as the Razzle Dazzler himself, Mr. Billy Flynn. Starring alongside James is X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke as Roxie Hart. It would be criminal to miss it...
Winner of six Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards and a Grammy, the sexiest, sassiest, most sophisticated Broadway musical in history is celebrating 21 years of standing ovations in style.
The dazzling tale of jazz slayer Roxie Hart, her cell-block rival Velma Kelly and the smooth-talking lawyer Billy Flynn has thrilled audiences across the world since 1996.
With the original Broadway choreography by Ann Reinking in the style of Bob Fosse and a sizzling score featuring the classic songs “Razzle Dazzle”, “Cell Block Tango” and “All That Jazz”, Chicago is so good it should be illegal.
Chicago is playing at the Phoenix Theatre until 5 January 2019.

What a treat. The revival choreography was originally by Ann Reinking in the style of Bob Fosse (who choreographed the original) and the dancing is a wow. Wrists flick, pelvises twist, shoulders shimmy, bodies twirl, sometimes with legs aloft, like ballet but better. Over and over again, you think, can hips really move like that? Hey, they can when it’s All That Jazz.'

...truly excellent ensemble. Walter Bobbie’s direction (after the great Bob Fosse) is superb and the leanness of Kander and Ebb’s book means that the whole thing rattles along with gusto.'

We thoroughly enjoyed this show even though I have seen it many times before. We couldn’t resist going again as a Christmas present for my wife and knowing the production is coming to an end.

My partner and I came to see this and he was dubious cause I’m the musical fanatic but at the end he said ‘it was the best one he’d seen’ and we’ve seen loads! Amazing cast, Josefina Gabrielle rocked the roll of ‘Velma’ with an faultless performance and that voice is magical. Todd Talbot who plays ‘Aaron’ is fantastic on stage and incredibly pleasing on the eye! The whole cast was really good, choreography was brilliantly executed. The only downside was the temperature in the theatre. My lord it’s colder in the desert. Several people were resorting to making fans from programmes & during the interval people were complaining about the heat but nothing was done. God knows what it must be like if we’d gone in the summer.

Lovely show. Seats were a bit too close giving a lovely angle of the ensemble’s bottoms etc and being how scanty the outfits were, quite revealing!! Caroline Flack as Roxy was slightly disappointing. Although she is a lovely singer and her dancing is good, she is not musical west end theatre standard. Felt a member of the ensemble would’ve given an exceptional performance, Velma was brilliant. Overall good show but missed being amazing.

Fabulous show. Didn't realise how multi-talented Caroline Flack is. She is brilliant as Roxie as is Josefina Gabrielle as Velma.

My first Chicago visit dates from october 1976 and then I saw the first Bob Fosse choreography and was overwhelmed. Yesterday I enjoyed the show just the same with a perfect cast

We watched the show last night and loved every second of it, Although I think if I didn’t already know the story line I may have struggled to follow but regardless of this each song/scene was still as amazing !

Watched last night and left feeling like I had a nice mid week meal. Everything was good but there was something missing for me. It was professional, the ensemble solid, the main characters ok not quite polished and just a little flat. There was a lot of polite applause but it did seem the audience felt a little jaded. Maybe it's ready to come off, maybe everyone was tired but I have seen this on Broadway and it was a totally different show and one that left me wowed.

all four members of the family ( two 60 year olds and our daughters of 21 and 27) really enjoyed the show. Perhaps the best musical we have seen and we have been to most of them that are currently in West End or have been over past decade or so. I have been singing praises to people at work. Hope the next revival is not too far off.

Didn’t enjoy this production and the so-called premium seats are extortionate at £150 and no better view comfort or leg room than any other seat wasted £300+

I found the show brilliant. I loved all the different character and the fact the ensemble are alway on the stage. I study musical theatre and this help me gain a understanding for how it makes the performers feel when they are on stage with the whole audience looking at you.

Didn’t enjoy this as much as we expected to. Roxy was amazing but otherwise the casting didn’t seem great. Some amazing singing and dancing but didn’t connect with the characters. It wasn’t terrible but I wouldn’t want to see it again.

We enjoyed the show. May be because we were sitting very close we saw all the things we should not really- holes in the tights, facial expressions of the cast- some of them looked bored, indifferent. I enjoyed choreography of dances, orchestra was brilliant. The show was sassy, sexy and cheeky with a lot of humor in the body moves
