The razzle-dazzle doesn’t kick off until Friday, September 5.
However, this bold revival of the Broadway classic is already in high demand, with opening night tickets selling at an impressive 50 per cent capacity, suggesting that another sell-out season is on the horizon for STAG.
Following a string of successful productions, including The Little Shop of Horrors, Vicar of Dibley and The Woman in Black, STAG is poised to continue to let the good times roll in its 50th anniversary.
CHICAGO, directed by Helen Janke, promises to deliver all the glamour and grit of the 1920s roaring into 2025.
Leading the cast is Julianna De Quilettes, stepping into the role of the scintillating sinner-turned-star Roxie Hart.
Sharing the stage with her is Stevie Renee as the twisted Kelly sister, Velma.
Anson Kearney will charm audiences with his smooth-talking portrayal of attorney Billy Flynn, whose get-out-of-jail-free card charisma serves as a character unto itself.
While mother knows best, the savvy Matron ‘Mama’ Morton knows all, and Sue Windsor delivers a powerhouse vocal performance in this role.
Pop. Six. Squish. Uh-uh. Cicero. Lipschitz.
Yes, the cast of the Merry Murderesses is set to go out with a bang on the stage, bringing the iconic Cell Block Tango to life: Nicola Villani as Annie, Sophie Fimmel as June, Tess Coates as Hunyak, Ciara Brisbane as Mona, and Nicky Pummeroy as Liz.
Not only is CHICAGO teeming with local talent (and all that STAG quality), it shows all the signs of a theatrical triumph.
STAG’s production of CHICAGO will run from September 5 to 13 at Riverlinks Westside, corner of Echuca Rd and Homewood Dve, Mooroopna.
Tickets can be purchased in person, by calling the Riverlinks box office on 5832 9511, or online at tinyurl.com/yrczzxnd
Prices are $50, or $45 with a concession.
