Overview
Murder, greed, corruption, exploitation, adultery, treachery… and “All That Jazz”… so begins the international multi-award-winning musical, CHICAGO.
The longest-running musical on Broadway, this scorching hot masterpiece is coming to the Lyric Theatre, QPAC from January.
Starring Anthony Warlow as Billy Flynn, Zoë Ventoura as Velma Kelly, Lucy Maunder as Roxie Hart, Peter Rowsthorn as Amos Hart and Asabi Goodman as Matron ‘Mama’ Morton.
Created by the musical theatre talents of John Kander, Fred Ebb and legendary choreographer Bob Fosse, it’s no wonder CHICAGO has been honoured with 6 Tony Awards®, 2 Olivier Awards, and a Grammy®.
With a glittering score that includes “All That Jazz” and “Razzle Dazzle”, CHICAGO truly is “sexy, pin-sharp and flawless” (Sydney Morning Herald).
The original and the best, CHICAGO is back. It would be a crime to miss it!
