Chicago - Wycombe Swan
12:06pm Fri 19th Jun 09:: written by Laura Enfield
Cheeky chappie Gary Wilmot is definitely not the obvious choice for slick lawyer Billy Flynn.
But he proved that he can 'razzle dazzle' with the best of them, writes Laura Enfield.
Chicago has attracted a huge diversity of names over the years and the latest minor-celeb to 'roll her stockings down' is former Eastender Emma Barton in the role of Roxie Hart.
She had moments of brilliance particularly during Me and My Baby and with her wide eyes has the endearing quality required. But she did lack a little of the bite and cattiness needed for her exchanges with Velma.
Twinnie-Lee Moore on the other hand had Velma Kelly's disdainful but sexy arrogance down pat and held the audiences gaze whenever she was on stage.
If you've seen the film and are thinking of giving this a miss-think again.
Not only are there more cracking songs but there's nothing like a live performance. Particularly when the dancers are stunning and clad in little more than their underwear!
