Three Leading Ladies joining Cube Gooding Jr in Chicago

Sarah Soetaert, Josefina Gabrielle and Ruthie Henshall will be joining Oscar winner, Cuba Gooding Jr, in the multi award-winning Chicago at the Phoenix Theatre in London’s West End.  Following a successful UK and international tour, and after a 5½-year absence from London, Chicago, the winner of six Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards and a Grammy, will begin performances at the Phoenix Theatre on Monday 26 March 2018.

Sarah Soetaert will be recreating the role of Roxie Hart, the role she previously played at the Cambride and Garrick Theatres.

Josefina Gabrielle played the role of Roxie Hart at the Adelphi and Cambridge Theatres.  She will now be making her debut as Velma Kelly.

       

Ruthie Henshall has the honour of being the only British actress to have played all three leading female roles in Chicago, having originated the role of Roxie Hart when Chicago first opened in London’s West End in 1997, then returning to play Velma Kelly, and now returning to the show to play Mama Morton.  She also played Roxie and Velma on Broadway.

Cuba Gooding Jr will be making his British stage debut and his musical debut as smooth-talking lawyer Billy Flynn.
