Shafesbury Avenue brought one of the worlds megastars to Londons West End to play Ms Roxie Hart.
Miss Michelle Williams stars alongside theatre heavyweights Di Botcher and Leigh Zimmerman in the longest running Broadway musical in Europes theatre captial. With nothing but a silver chair and a top hat on the stage the audience are advised to prepare for a display of murder, greed, vanity, adultery and jealousy.
The story follows who I can only describe as a spoilt brat on her desperate plea for stardom through a dirt road of deceit and a level crossing of lust.
Having studied drama and theatre studies and being a fan of the film, starring Renne Zellweger, I was more than enthusiastic about seeing the live performance, so although there was an effective use greek theatre techniques by use of chrous, the cast lacked passion.
And for this, I can sympathise, because, nonetheless the performance was impressive and lived up to the title as the 'sexiest musical' for their slick show of sins, but not even be nominated for outstanding performance.
