David Ian for Crossroads Live, in association with Barry and Fran Weissler, is delighted to announce new casting for the UK and Ireland tour of the critically acclaimed musical “Chicago”.
Kevin Clifton will continue to play Billy Flynn in Canterbury and Bristol. However, from their stop in Bournemouth, actors Dan Burton and Darren Day will take over for the remainder of the tour.
Dan Burton is set to play Billy Flynn in Bournemouth, Nottingham, Birmingham, Truro, and Llandudno. In contrast, Darren Day will take over in Wimbledon, Leicester, Wolverhampton, Hull, Eastbourne, Norwich, Blackpool, Woking, Sunderland, Crawley, Glasgow, and Salford.
Pop star Sinitta is set to play Mama Morton in Bournemouth, Canterbury, Norwich, Woking, Crawley, and Glasgow, whereas Brenda Edwards will continue as Mama Morton in Nottingham, Birmingham, Cardiff, Bristol, Wimbledon, Leicester, and Salford.
Set against the backdrop of the dazzle-dazzling 1920s America, the multi-award-winning “Chicago” follows Roxie Hart, a fame-obsessed nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover. With the help of a seedy lawyer, Billy Flynn, they must work together to con the media and jury. The score features iconic songs, including “We Both Reached for the Gun,” “Cell Block Tango”, and, of course, “All That Jazz.”
Additional Chicago casting for Mama Morton at certain venues is to be announced.
