Chicago at Oldham Coliseum

Murder, mayhem and music heads to Oldham Coliseum Theatre September 12 to October 13 with a new and original version of the classic musical Chicago.

The theatre has first rights to produce a new take on the famous story of Roxie Hart and Velma Kelly in a revival which will be the first of its kind since 1997’s West End run.

This production will take the jazz musical back to its original vaudevillian roots.

The story, the songs and the drama will unfold on the Coliseum stage courtesy of an 18-strong cast, familiar to many from the popular Blonde Bombshells of 1943 at the Coliseum earlier this year.
