Strictly's Kevin Clifton and Faye Brookes lead cast of Chicago UK tour
Faye Brooks, Brenda Edwards and Kevin Clifton have all been sentenced to a cell block tango.
A star-dazzled cast has just been announced for the upcoming UK tour of Chicago.
Coronation Street's Faye Brooks will lead the cast as Roxie Hart, joined by Loose Women panellist Brenda Edwards and ex-Strictly Come Dancing professional Kevin Clifton.
Edwards will be returning to the part of Mama Morton, having toured with the role in 2021/2022, while Clifton will be playing lawyer Billy Flynn.
None of them are new to the stage, with Brooks – best known for her soap character Kate Connor – previously playing Princess Fiona in Shrek and Elle Woods in Legally Blonde on tour.
Edwards has likewise played Morton and Motormouth Maybelle in Hairspray, and Clifton has performed in Singin’ in the Rain, Rock of Ages and more.

The tour will kick off at Milton Keynes theatre next month and go on to hit 35 UK venues, finishing up in August 2025.
Following the same story of the hit film, Chicago is set in the sleazy underbelly of the eponymous city. It follows Roxie Hart, an ordinary woman sent to prison for shooting her ex-lover, while on the inside she meets infamous jazz singer Velma Kelly, un-principled prison warden Mama Morton and money-obsessed lawyer Billy Flynn.
The show first ran in 1975 has since appeared at the West End twice and toured the UK once before. If you want to get tickets, here's all that jazz.
