Esplanade Theatres proudly announces the return of Chicago the Musical to Singapore
With over a decade of decadence on Broadway and London’s West End, CHICAGO will return to Singapore from 16 April to 9 May 2010, for a strictly limited season at the Esplanade Theatre with an all-star cast including the award-winning Sharon Millerchip as Roxie Hart and Craig McLachlan as Billy Flynn.
In an interview with Dance Life Australia (see above), Sharon Millerchip reveals that she essayed the character of Velma Kelly before landing the role of Roxie Hart. In fact, she is one of a select few who has done so.
In 2001 Sharon was honoured to receive the inaugural Helpmann Award® for Best Leading Actress in a Musical for her performance as Velma Kelly in Chicago. Sharon played Velma in Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, Hong Kong and Singapore and is honoured to be amongst the very few women in the world to have performed the coveted roles of both Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart.
I have purchased my tickets for opening night (16 April 2010), the last show (09 May 2010), and one in between (28 April 2010). Thank goodness for seats with a restricted view (much cheaper prices)!
