CHECK OUT THIS REVIEW OF THE LOVELY AND VERY TALENTED MICHELLE WILLIAMS ,FROM "THE LONDON PAPER" :)
Destiny’s Child singer Michelle Williams – the comparative wallflower of the group – successfully sheds her 'nice girl' image to take on the role of ruthless murderess Roxie Hart. Seductive in bobbed wig and black lace dress, she looks comfortable in the starring role, her American accent bringing a nice authenticity and her dance moves graceful and expressive.
With a smooth, strong singing voice, she expertly plays up Roxie's deceptively sugary nature and gives the character all the feistiness and fun you’d expect from a member of the trio that unleashed Survivor and Independent Women on the world.
David Ganley garners all the audience’s sympathy as her faithful, put-upon husband Amos, while the superb ensemble throw some particularly impressive shapes in Razzle Dazzle.
With its comic-book, frequently slapstick tone and sexy dancers, Chicago is a bit of a subtlety vacuum that won't be to everyone's taste, but centre stage is a sleek and confident debut from Williams, who looks destined for West End success.
Chicago , until 30 October, Cambridge Theatre, Earlham Street, WC2H 9HU, £20-£75, 5pm-8.30pm
