razzle dazzle

Chicago was great!

The cast, especially Caroline O'Connor (as Velma Kelly), Sharon Millerchip (Roxie Hart), Craig McLaughlin (Billy Flynn), Colleen Hewitt (Mama Morton) and Rowan Browne (as Fred Casley) were terrific; the staging was stylish and effective; Her Maj was compact and cosy, but comfortable enough, and our seats were sensational.

My only criticism is still of the show itself, with all the best musical numbers appearing before intermission, but the performances kept the show interesting, despite the lack of show-stoppers in the second half.

I left the theatre thinking about whether I'd have a chance to go see it again before the season ends, and not realising that the end, is in fact nigh... only a few more days to go. Too bad, 'coz I definitely would have seen it again.
