Chicago

Start the week off on a high (kick).

The musical Chicago was immortalised in film with a star-studded cast including Renee Zellwegger, Catherine Zeta Jones and Richard Gere. This national tour, which is in Oxford until Saturday 1 March, stars the award-winning stage and soap star Faye Brookes as Roxie Hart, supported by West End and Loose Women regular, Brenda Edwards as Mama Morton. Djalenga Scot shines as Velma Kelly and Strictly’s Kevin Clifton takes on the dastardly Billy Flynn.

Get your razzle-dazzle on and allow yourself to be transported to the decadence of the 1920s where you’ll find yourself rooting for murder, media and malice. This legendary Fosse-choreographed musical is the winner of multiple awards and features an outstanding score packed with show-stoppers including All That Jazz, Cell Block Tango, Razzle Dazzle and the tour-de-force When You’re Good to Mama.

Chicago is on at New Theatre Oxford from Monday 24 February until Saturday 1st March. For tickets and further information visit atgtickets.com
