'Chicago' has made a great 2-week stop at San Francisco's Orpheum Theatre. Huey Lewis headlines (and declines), but the scintillating lead ladies and spicy ensemble pack a fiery and fun evening!
By now, just about everyone has seen some form of Kander and Ebb's razzle-dazzle musical Chicago. With a successful revival and an even more successful film, the 1975 musical that lost all its Tony Awards to a little show called A Chorus Line is now a worldwide phenomenon. Currently touring the country (and fresh off a stop in Dubai of all places), I am happy to report that Chicago is in fine shape. Though the Rob Marshall screen treatment is quite good, nothing can touch seeing the acclaimed revival live.
John O'Hurley will play his final performance as Billy Flynn in Chicago at the Ambassador Theatre on Sunday, April 16th, but will be joining the national touring company of the musical for three special engagements in Charlotte, NC, Atlanta and Tampa
Robin Givens and Michele DeJean will switch places as Roxie Hart in the touring company and Broadway production of Chicago from February 16th through March 6th
