Sheffield Theatre Plays Chicago

Sheffield Theatres will present a well known musical Chicago. 'Murder, greed, corruption, exploitation, adultery and treachery..all those things we hold near and dear to our hearts'...so begins the international award-winning musical, Chicago starring Gary Wilmot (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Half A Sixpence) as Billy Flynn and Emma Barton(EastEnders) as Roxie Hart.

Based on the real life events back in the roaring 1920s, nightclub singer Roxie Hart shoots her lover and along with cell block rival, double murderess Velma Kelly, they fight to keep from death row with the help of smooth talking lawyer, Billy Flynn.

Created by the musical theatre talents of John Kander, Fred Edd and legendary choreographer Bob Fosse, Chicago's sexy, sassy score includes All That Jazz and Razzle Dazzle. With 6 Tony, 2 Olivier, 1 Grammy, 2 Bafta and 6 Academy Awards, Chicago truly is 'The sharpest, slickest show on the block' (The Times).

A nightclub singer, a double-murderess, a smooth-talking lawyer and a cell block of sin: it would be a crime to miss it.
