"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

It's interesting to see it come back. I believe the tour had a good reception.
It's hard to see why it's coming back.

I imagine the producers were convinced that, based on the success of the tour, the time was right for a return to the West End. Who are some possibilities for Roxie, Velma and Billy?

I think Rachel Tucker would be a fabulous Velma.

BIG BALONEY said: "Yuck, occupying another theatre , I hope it's a short run." While it appears that Chicago is not your cup of tea, it is significant for many fans in your country who would like to see it...not to mention that it will provide employment for numerous singers, dancers and others. I think the one year run is a sort of trial period. If it proves successful, then maybe the producers will make it an open run.

I think my decision will be based on the cast considering how many productions of this show I've seen. Any idea when they might announce the cast?
