May 19, 201213 yr Darius' life is never simple - it's just a case of waiting and seeing what comes up
June 13, 201213 yr Today I got the kings theatre show booklet through and was not happy to see that Chicago is coming there in November! I am gutted! the times Darius does it is has always been down in London which I would have loved to have gone to but it was going to be too expensive to go. I wish Darius was play Bill in November, That would mean I would get a really good Birthday present lol Anyway has there been any news about Broadway?
June 14, 201213 yr Author Even if he did decide to do it at the next cast change, it is not his place to say so, before the official cast list is announced. The same goes for acting auditions. Anything really that concerns contracts. It quite simply isn't the done thing to talk about them.
June 14, 201213 yr stargate clip someones just posted a link for a still from ABC's beauty and the beast on twitter
June 18, 201213 yr We don't know how long the current Billy signed for. If he got the same choice as Darius, it could have been 6 wks to 2 years. I think it's coming up to 6 months now.
June 18, 201213 yr Author I see they changed Velma (now Amra Faye Wright), Mary Sunshine (R.Lowe), both of whom I've seen when Darius was in the West End, and Mama Morton (now Carole somebody who's played the role since 1999 in America) on 4th June. That's quite a big main cast change, so I guess they won't change Roxie or Billy for at least a month or two. Editing - My apologies. It's Carol Woods and she's played the role of Mama Morton in various productions of Chicago since 1997. Edited June 18, 201213 yr by Baytree
June 18, 201213 yr It'd be nice to have an idea but then it'd mean someone letting us know - and we normally do before anyone tells us
June 18, 201213 yr Author Billy's Tony Yazbeck. I'm pretty sure he started off the New Year and then John Hurley. Tony Yazbeck must have come back in when Darius was busy on Beauty and the Beast in Vancouver.
June 18, 201213 yr So it's next change over or nothing - unless the agreement with the producers is altered
June 19, 201213 yr grrr, Darius - if you get chances please take ALL of them - I will be spitting feathers if he doesnt do broadway after it was a sure fire thing!!!!!!!! surely he will take the option this time, Tony ...seems to be a fill in anyway tbh - have seen his name before at times - they need some glamour in that role :)
June 19, 201213 yr They need a really good Billy Flynn to replace a very good Billy Flynn. Darius has so much stage presence that I can't wait for Broadway to discover it. It'd probably give him a green card as well.
July 16, 201213 yr from what ive seen on the chicago broadway website Billy rae Cyrus isnt playin billy flynn till november so D cud b b4 then
July 17, 201213 yr Looks as though Chicago may be out. Could be good for the album though http://www.playbill.com/news/article/16811...Chicago-July-17
July 17, 201213 yr D never usually talks about a project unless the contract is signed and he talked about broadway last year in interviews so i thought it was a done deal :???:
July 18, 201212 yr It was part of the contract he signed to do the West End 'Chicago'. We just don't know what else he has in the pot - although we do know the album is going ahead - but we have known that before
