Chicago - Songs from the London Show

The original 1942 screen version of the musical Chicago, starring Ginger Rogers, was remade in 2002 and proved an Oscar winning success thanks to an all star cast including Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Richard Gere.

Since 1975, the theatre production of Chicago which is currently showing at The Adelphi Theatre in London's West End has rarely been off the stage, either in London or Broadway. Chicago has been hailed as arguably the finest musical comedy of all time.
